How it is measured
The figures are concurrent player counts from Steam's public API: how many people were in the game at the moment sampled. Concurrency is the games industry's standard public audience measure precisely because it is directly observable; total ownership and monthly players are private. It undercounts by construction, one point-in-time snapshot misses everyone who played at other hours, but it compares cleanly across games and across time.
