About TrendingNow
TrendingNow is a simple idea done carefully: show players what is actually trending using signals that can be verified. We look at measurable activity like player counts, rankings, review velocity, wishlists, and news. No spin.
What We Built
We collect data hourly from Steam's public APIs and surface games gaining momentum right now. Our analytics tool lets you compare up to 6 games side-by-side with interactive charts. All data is available through free API endpoints in JSON, RSS, and CSV formats.
Rankings are never paid placements. Games move up or down based on measurable signals like player growth, review velocity, and sales rankings.
