Next Fest October 2026
Oct 19 – Oct 26, 1,347 demos.
Valve publishes the order, not the numbers. The store's fest page ranks demos by how much they are played, but shows no figure — and once the fest closes, the ranking is gone. Everything below is recorded while the fest runs: Valve's chart positions on every sweep, plus our own measurement of concurrent players per demo and followers per game.
Listed are the 0 demos whose game is in this site's catalogue. Recording started Oct 23, 11:16. Player counts are concurrent players, read directly from Steam — see how these numbers are collected.
Biggest climbers
How far a title moved up Valve's own chart since the first time we recorded it. This is the one list that cannot exist without a history — the store only ever shows the order of right now. Only titles present in both recordings appear.

Followers gained during the fest
Valve does not publish wishlist numbers. Followers are the closest public figure: not the same thing — you can follow a game without wishlisting it — but the only measurable interest a game collects before release.

Valve's own charts
The order as the store itself ranks it, at the last recording. The number is the position in Valve's list, which includes titles this site does not track yet — so it can skip.
