How action games hold their players

Median gameMiddle half, 25th to 75th percentileHalf of the launch level

A game’s launch level is the best of its first three monthly averages; every later month is a share of it, so the curve reads as a share of launch, not as players. The band is the 25th to 75th percentile of the cohort’s games at each month, drawn wherever 20 games have reached that month (511 at launch, 468 at month 12, 383 at month 36). Month 0 is the launch month, which usually holds the launch spike, so most games are under half by month 1 or 2. Monthly averages come from the imported archive back to 2012 and SteamPeaks’ own daily rollups after it. Recomputed weekly, last on 12 Sep 2026. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.

Half-life is the first month under 50% of the launch level, counting from the month the launch level was set; a game that has not fallen under half in a year or more is not ranked here rather than given a half-life it has not reached. Standing is the share of cohort games at the same age the game holds better than, from the job's own ranking. Recomputed weekly. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.
