Question 1

How is Game of the Week determined?

Accepted Answer

Game of the Week rankings use a multi-factor algorithm combining average score (40%), peak performance (20%), positional dominance (25%), consistency (10%), and recency (5%). We capture daily snapshots at 12:00 AM UTC tracking each game's trending score and daily ranking position. This ensures fairness to games releasing late in the week while rewarding sustained excellence. See our methodology page for full details.

Question 2

When do Game of the Week rankings update?

Accepted Answer

We capture daily snapshots at 12:00 AM UTC. Weekly rankings update continuously throughout the week and finalize on Sunday. The 'Updated X ago' timestamp shows when the most recent snapshot was captured.

Question 3

Why might a game appear here but not on the daily trending page?

Accepted Answer

Weekly rankings show which games performed best over the past 7 days based on their peak scores. A game might have dominated Monday-Thursday but dropped off by the weekend, so it won't appear high on daily trending anymore but will still rank well on the weekly list.

Question 4

Where does this data come from?

Accepted Answer

All data comes from Steam's official public APIs: player counts (updated every few hours), top seller rankings (daily), review counts and sentiment (multiple times daily), and game news feeds. We combine these signals into trending scores using a transparent, documented methodology.
