Counter-Strike 2 continues receiving live updates and event support while remaining Steam’s most-played title.

Valve’s official Counter-Strike 2 launch trailer remains a useful look at the game still dominating Steam’s live player count.

The chart also puts yesterday’s viral Hood Warfare 2 surge into perspective: breaking five figures is impressive, but Steam’s largest ecosystems operate at a completely different scale. BitcoinVersus has also tracked Steam’s estimated September revenue and newer releases such as Star Wars: Galactic Racer.
