How many people are playing SpaceChem right now?

Sample too small: no sampled review with a playtime on file, 30 needed before the figures are written. The reviews poller samples each game’s reviews in turn; the funnel job reads them daily.

Finish funnel · achievements by global unlock share

No funnel yet

SpaceChem lists 20 achievements, but their global unlock shares have not been read yet; the achievements poller reaches every game with achievements in turn, and the funnel job orders them the next day.

Streamer Effect

Do streams move SpaceChem?

Every game How this is computedNot sampled

SpaceChem 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 SpaceChem is busiest

How this is computedHourly sample 46 minutes ago

Needs four weeks of hourly samples, 2 on file (35 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.

How games like SpaceChem hold their players

Every game How this is computedCurves computed 45 hours ago

SpaceChem’s monthly averages begin in Jul 2012, more than two months after its 2 Mar 2011 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.

The band is the 25th to 75th percentile share of the launch level among puzzle 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.
