The latest movement
- +20 Steam players since Oct 6, 2026, 06:25 PM UTC (+1.9%). A snapshot comparison, not a daily growth rate.
- -0.00 percentage points in overall positive reviews since Oct 5, 2026, 06:00 AM UTC. 3 net change in review total; edited or removed reviews can affect this.
Population compares consecutive observations; publisher posts use a separate seven-day window. Neither establishes why the audience changed.

Recent patch evidence & methodology
- No matching patch posts found.
Dates are publication dates, not verified deployment times. We use publisher patch tags and conservative headline matches; previews and test updates are excluded. Untagged updates, other storefronts and changes without announcements may be missing. An older version is not carried forward when the latest patch does not name one.
Single-player perspective: A completed game can remain excellent without frequent patches or a large concurrent audience. Quiet development does not establish abandonment, broken gameplay or loss of offline access. These signals do not lower the population rating.
