Question 1

How are historical weekly rankings calculated?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Where does this historical data come from?

Accepted Answer

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.
