Steam Scream V is on until Nov 2. Spooky games crowd the store this week, so the quieter weeks after it are worth a look.

Troubleshooting

Why are your numbers different from what Steam shows?

Steam shows numbers in different ways in different places, ours refresh on a daily rhythm, and some figures are clearly marked estimates.

A small gap is normal. Here is why:

  • Timing. We refresh the games you track every day, so a number can be a few hours behind Steam's page.
  • Steam counts differently in different places. For example, review counts can be filtered by language or purchase type on a store page.
  • Followers are not wishlists. Followers are players who follow a game on Steam. Wishlists are private to the developer, which is why the Wishlist Estimator gives a range.
  • Estimates are marked as estimates. Owners, sales and wishlists for other games are estimates and shown as a range.
  • Prices depend on region. Steam prices differ from country to country, so the price you see on Steam where you live can differ from ours.

Tip: for your own game, connect Steamworks to see your real sales and wishlists. If a number looks clearly wrong for days, tell us.
