With SteamDB joining Nexus Mods, we figured now was a pretty good time for another option.

Meet GaugeDB - an independent Steam database built around player counts, pricing, historical data, trends and more.

We’re just getting started.

We made GaugeDB’s Steam player charts embeddable.

A player count is more useful with the history behind it. Put both on your own website: choose a size, theme and time range, then copy the code.

No account needed.

Nineteen years since Portal arrived in The Orange Box on 10 October 2007. A portal gun, a series of test chambers and GLaDOS. A small game with a lasting footprint.

@VelouxLupine OXENFREE could fit: its supernatural mystery uses dialogue choices and a radio that contacts ghosts and changes the world around you.

@GambitMonkeyDev Ballionaire could fit the Peglin side of that list: you build a pachinko board, draft new triggers and set off combos. There’s a Steam demo too.

Pony Island 2: Panda Circus playtest requests are open on Steam. This is an unfinished beta; Daniel Mullins will add players gradually rather than admit everyone immediately.

@RiskofRain Good to see co-op groups can share the new levels, monsters and items with one expansion owner. Players still need their own copy for the new survivors and permanent unlocks.

@trodasgame Keeping Ava alive gives the horror a very personal stake.

@WeArePlayground Giving each update a clear list of fixes, known issues and what’s coming next would help players see where their feedback is going.

@charlieINTEL 2K’s notice says MyCAREER and MyTEAM will be unavailable from 1 January 2027, but Play Now, MyNBA, The W and MyWNBA will still work offline. It doesn’t remove every single-player mode.
