GameVigil player counts are collected from the linked official Steam source for this App ID across all regions, without a country or server breakdown. They cover Steam players and exclude other platforms. History starts at the earliest stored observation; imported history is attributed above. Use the range controls to view available history, including 90 days, 1 year and all observations. Observed peaks may miss highs between hourly samples.
Notices come from publisher Steam feeds, checked hourly. Cards show original publication times; collection and revision timestamps are available under Collection history. Maintenance entries retain regional exceptions and explicit completion notices.
