Finish funnel · achievements by global unlock share

No funnel yet

Half-Life: Blue Shift lists no achievements on its store page, so there is no unlock share to order and no funnel to draw.

Playtime is that of people who reviewed, from the 200 reviews SteamPeaks sampled for Half-Life: Blue Shift: their total hours when the sample was read, and the hours they had when writing (the refund-window share). Reviewers have usually played more than owners who never wrote a review. Recomputed daily. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.

Streamer Effect

Do streams move Half-Life: Blue Shift?

Every game How this is computedNot sampled

Half-Life: Blue Shift is not in the Twitch ring: viewers are sampled every 10 minutes for the hundred most played games and every watched game (351 games since 3 Sep 2026), so there is no viewer series to set against its players yet. Watching the game adds it to the ring.

Best Time to Play

When Half-Life: Blue Shift is busiest

How this is computedHourly sample 2 hours ago

Needs four weeks of hourly samples, 2 on file (37 hourly rows since 6 Sep 2026, 07:00 UTC). The weekly activity job writes the profile once 4 distinct weeks fall inside its 8-week window; the fourth week of samples begins on 21 Sep 2026, so the heatmap can appear with the job’s first run after that.

Lifespan

How games like Half-Life: Blue Shift hold their players

Every game How this is computedCurves computed 2 days ago

Half-Life: Blue Shift’s monthly averages begin in Jul 2012, more than two months after its 1 Jun 2001 release, so its series is not a launch curve and the job leaves it off rather than measure from the wrong start. The cohort’s own curve is shown.

Share of the launch level by month since launch · FPS games · 35 games at launch

Middle half of FPS gamesMedian FPS gameHalf of launch

The band is the 25th to 75th percentile share of the launch level among FPS games at each month since launch, with their median as the line; a game joins a curve after 6 months of averages. Recomputed weekly, last on 5 Sep 2026. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.
