Global unlock shares from Steam’s own achievement percentages, read on 6 Sep 2026, ordered most common first. The finish step is the lowest-share achievement whose name or description matched the finish rules (name-or-description matches the finish rules). Shares are of players who have the game on their account, as Steam counts them. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.
Playtime is that of people who reviewed, from the 600 reviews SteamPeaks sampled for XCOM 2: 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.
XCOM 2 is not in the Twitch ring: viewers are sampled every 10 minutes for the hundred most played games and every watched game (310 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.
Needs four weeks of hourly samples, 2 on file (48 hourly rows since 5 Sep 2026, 08:00 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.

Monthly averages from the imported archive and SteamPeaks’ own daily rollups after it, Feb 2016 to Aug 2026, each month divided by the launch level (42,239). The band is the 25th to 75th percentile of strategy games at each month since launch (189 games at launch); the half-life is the first month under half, counting from the month the launch level was set. No projection: the cohort has no curve twelve months beyond this game’s age. Recomputed weekly, last on 5 Sep 2026. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.
