spikes are measured with the verdicts, from 10 Sep 2026

Correlation is not causation. These figures say how closely a game’s Twitch viewers and its Steam players move together, and what happened to players after viewer spikes; a stream can follow a patch or a sale as easily as cause a crowd.

A viewer spike in the last 24 hours · newest first

Being lifted now

No spike can be listed yet: the job measures spikes and their lift only once a game has 7 days of both series, and the Twitch sampling began on 3 Sep 2026. The first spikes and verdicts land on 10 Sep 2026; until then the viewers-per-player table below is read from the samples directly.
Median lift above 15% and correlation above 0.5 at a positive lag · largest lift first

The most streamer-driven games

No verdict yet: every one of the 226 games measured has under 7 days of both series (4 days at most). The daily job writes the first verdicts on 10 Sep 2026.

Twitch viewers are sampled by SteamPeaks every 10 minutes for the hundred most played games and every watched game, since 3 Sep 2026; players are SteamPeaks’ own counts, averaged onto the same 10-minute bins. Viewers per player is a plain ratio of means over the bins both series share; the correlation is the strongest over lags of up to six hours either way; a lift compares the six hours after a spike with the same six hours a week earlier and is an estimate. Verdicts: streamer-driven (median lift above 15% after spikes and a correlation above 0.5 at a positive lag: players follow viewers here); mixed (the two series move together some of the time; neither rule is met cleanly); self-driven (correlation under 0.2: the player count moves on its own rhythm, whatever twitch shows); not yet measured (fewer than 7 days of both series: the verdict opens once a week of samples is on file). Recomputed daily, last on 6 Sep 2026. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.
