Global unlock shares from Steam’s own achievement percentages, read on 6 Sep 2026, ordered most common first. The finish rules (beat the game, completed the story, final boss, credits, epilogue and their variants) matched no name or description, so the funnel has no finish step rather than a guessed one. Shares are of players who have the game on their account, as Steam counts them. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.

Do streams move Around The Core?

Every game How this is computedNot sampled

Around The Core 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.
