Sources & verification.

What “verified” means

We matched each AppID to the official store identity and reviewed the displayed information. Systems overviews summarize what the store describes. This is not a claim of hands-on testing, a complete item catalogue, or a confirmed current game version.

A note on release dates

Release dates retain the calendar dates supplied by the English Steam store. Each hub explains any publisher or regional-release distinction. The original three games also have separately recorded, unverified SteamDB observations. No calendar date is converted into an invented UTC release instant.

October 2026 selections

The three added games were released on Steam between September 29 and October 28. We selected the highest-ranked eligible base games in Steam’s October 20–27 global revenue chart, excluding older games, unreleased pre-purchases and DLC. This is a dated weekly revenue signal, not a full-month player ranking.

Artwork

Game identification artwork comes from each game’s official Steam store header. The original URLs are retained with the game records. Game names and artwork belong to their respective owners.

Unpublished evidence and research

Unreviewed announcements, new-game candidates, keyword proposals, and manual observations remain outside the public content index. Automated checks help maintain consistency; they cannot replace editorial judgment.
