Top 10 Most Played Steam Games – R.I.P inZOI
Steam’s global charts never sleep—and today, they tell a story of shifting hype, steady titans, and rising underground hits. The top 10 most played Steam games this month feature some expected giants, but also a few surprises, including the meteoric rise of Schedule 1 and the steady climb of R.E.P.O. Meanwhile, what was once billed as a game-changing life simulator—inZOI—is plummeting in popularity, already disappearing from the top 10 altogether.
Let’s take a closer look at the current landscape on Steam and break down who’s dominating, who’s fading, and what it all means for gamers.
1. Counter-Strike 2 – Still the King of Competitive FPS
-
Current Players: 1,335,618
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 1,818,368
-
Hours Played: 768,433,632
Valve’s tactical shooter remains untouched at the top. Counter-Strike 2 continues to pull in millions daily, with nearly 800 million hours clocked this past month. It’s a staple, a legacy, and an esport institution. No surprises here—just consistent dominance.
2. Dota 2 – The Eternal MOBA
-
Current Players: 494,575
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 644,980
-
Hours Played: 293,260,269
Another Valve powerhouse, Dota 2 holds strong in second place. While not as flashy as it once was, its loyal player base and huge esports presence ensure it maintains its position comfortably. Almost 300 million hours played this month say it all.
3. Schedule 1 – The Dark Horse Hit
-
Current Players: 309,094
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 412,713
-
Hours Played: 39,509,374
Talk of the town. Schedule 1 might’ve started as an indie curiosity, but it’s now rubbing shoulders with giants. Its gritty, comedic take on underground empire-building is resonating with players in a big way. Sitting firmly at third place, it’s outperforming legacy titles and cementing itself as a modern cult classic.
From clever automation to endless micromanagement, players are hooked—and for good reason. Schedule 1’s depth, charm, and dark humor are a recipe that’s clearly working.
4. PUBG: Battlegrounds – The Comeback King
-
Current Players: 280,995
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 1,329,605
-
Hours Played: 253,592,415
Once the pioneer of the battle royale genre, PUBG may not have the same daily dominance, but its monthly peaks suggest something wild: events and tournaments still draw in massive spikes of activity. It remains a staple, and players keep coming back.
5. Rust – Still Brutal, Still Addictive
-
Current Players: 176,097
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 203,220
-
Hours Played: 79,840,691
The survival sandbox Rust continues to be a major force. With nearly 80 million hours played, it’s proof that hardcore PvP, base-building, and betrayal never go out of style. Streamer events and community-driven chaos keep this one near the top.
6. R.E.P.O. – Horror Has Never Been So Addictive
-
Current Players: 159,754
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 266,908
-
Hours Played: 84,557,084
Creepy, atmospheric, and absolutely brutal, R.E.P.O. is the new darling of horror co-op fans. Coming in at number six, it’s outperforming some of the industry’s biggest franchises. With terrifying monster designs, unpredictable AI behavior, and a tension-filled gameplay loop, it’s no surprise this indie horror title is turning heads—and chewing through competition.
What’s impressive is R.E.P.O.’s retention rate. Players aren’t just trying it—they’re staying. And in horror, that’s rare.
7. Marvel Rivals – Early Momentum Holds Strong
-
Current Players: 130,748
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 271,225
-
Hours Played: 100,329,753
Hero shooters live and die by their fanbases. Marvel Rivals has carved out a solid player base thanks to strong character variety and team-based mechanics. While it hasn’t quite cracked the top five, it’s holding its ground with a steady player count and massive playtime stats.
8. Call of Duty® – The Steady War Machine
-
Current Players: 113,297
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 113,297
-
Hours Played: 32,668,227
Despite being lower on the peak chart, Call of Duty still brings in solid daily players. Whether it’s Warzone or another installment, the brand loyalty is strong. But it’s clear the game may be hitting saturation, with little recent growth in player engagement.
9. Banana – The Meme That Won’t Die
-
Current Players: 110,729
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 134,823
-
Hours Played: 72,145,814
Simple. Weird. Addictive. Banana is the meme game that just won’t quit. It might not be for everyone, but for those who get the joke, it’s a daily ritual. Nearly 73 million hours played says the joke hasn’t worn off just yet.
10. Spacewar – The Quiet Classic
-
Current Players: 101,841
-
Peak (Last 30 Days): 138,329
-
Hours Played: 36,998,853
Spacewar? Yes, it still exists—and it rounds out the top 10. Used heavily for dev testing and appearing in unexpected places, its numbers are more about utility than popularity. Still, it’s technically on the chart and deserves a nod.
R.I.P inZOI – From Hype to Obscurity
Nowhere to be found.
Not long ago, inZOI was making headlines as a life-sim “Sims killer” with breathtaking graphics and real-world realism. But fast-forward a few weeks, and it’s not even in the top 10. What happened?
It seems inZOI couldn’t maintain interest beyond the first impression. Despite its promise, the lack of long-term engagement, questionable performance issues, and repetitive gameplay have left players jumping ship quickly. The initial buzz has deflated, and unless major updates arrive, inZOI might be the year’s most spectacular fall from grace.
Final Thoughts: Indie Power Rising
The most notable trend in this chart? Indie dominance.
Games like Schedule 1 and R.E.P.O. are outshining massive AAA releases, proving that unique mechanics and community-driven design can punch way above their budget. This shift signals a strong appetite for innovation and authenticity—two things indies are delivering in spades.
While big guns like CS2 and Dota 2 hold the crown, it’s the fresh blood shaking things up that makes this chart so exciting.
So here’s to the rise of the underdog—and a farewell (for now) to inZOI.
