How are historical weekly rankings calculated?

Historical 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.

All data comes from daily snapshots of Steam's official public APIs: player counts (Steam Web API), top seller rankings (Steam Store API), review counts and sentiment (Steam Reviews API), and game news feeds. Each snapshot is captured at 12:00 AM UTC and permanently stored for historical analysis.
