PUBG: Battlegrounds is proving once again that it is an absolute juggernaut. A 7-day trend of +73.3% might not sound like much for a small indie game, but for PUBG, that translates to a massive 24-hour peak of 714,510 concurrent players.

Looking at the graph, the daily cyclical peaks are incredibly strong, and there was also a really sharp spike in Twitch viewership (the purple line) around May 19th.

What's driving this current surge? Did a massive new patch drop recently (like the return of a classic map), or was there a huge esports tournament going on with Twitch drops? Let me know what you guys think.

It looks like the current Steam Sale is doing wonders for the Devil May Cry franchise.

>It’s currently seeing a 7-day trend of +140.2%, with the 24-hour peak jumping to 3,820 players.

The graph clearly shows the momentum picking up on May 11th, coinciding with the deep discounts. It’s always great to see a masterpiece like DMC5 getting some fresh blood.

Are you guys double-dipping on a different platform or finally picking it up for the first time? For this price, it’s basically a steal.

Here is a really weird one. Valve's long-forgotten card game Artifact is suddenly seeing a massive surge. The 7-day trend is up by +253.8%, pushing the 24-hour peak to 3,446 players completely out of nowhere.

Looking at the graph, the baseline player count is usually virtually non-existent before hitting these sharp, sudden spikes. What makes this so baffling is that development stopped three years ago. There are no new updates, no sales (it's free to play), and the Twitch category is mostly just people illegally streaming TV shows like Spongebob.

Some gaming news outlets are already pointing out that this is likely a massive bot wave, especially since the activity seems to be focused on "Artifact Classic" rather than the newer "Foundry" version. But since there aren't even Steam trading cards to farm for profit, what exactly is the point here? Why would someone bot Artifact in 2024? Let me know your theories.

Looks like Conan Exiles is having a huge resurgence right now. The 7-day trend is up by nearly 270%, pushing the 24-hour peak to over 32,000 players and bringing in a lot of Twitch viewers as well.

Looking at the graph, the player count was pretty standard and flatlined before hitting a massive, sudden spike around May 4th/5th. Did a major new "Age" update drop, or did a huge streamer pick the game up again? Let me know what you guys think.

Looks like Diablo IV is having an absolutely massive resurgence right now. The 7-day trend is up by a crazy +611.2%, pushing the 24-hour peak to 46,618 players and almost 75,000 viewers.

Looking at the graph, the player count was completely flatlining before hitting a massive, sudden spike just a few days ago. The new Season breaks records.
