Wishlist risers chart
Day by day: estimated wishlists of every game on the list, on a log scale, or its place relative to the start of the period. Hover a line; click it or a row in the table to keep the game highlighted.
Wishlist risers table
The list: chart place before and after with the multiple, estimated wishlists gained and new followers. Click a column header to sort.
  • Weeks or Months. A week runs Sunday to Sunday; a month from the last day of the previous month to its own last day, and the current month up to its last full day. The arrows step through the archive.
  • Who makes the list. Unreleased games that hold a place in the top 3,000 at both ends of the period. The 30 whose place improved the most get in, ordered by estimated wishlists gained. Improvement is a ratio: #4,000 → #2,000 and #400 → #200 are the same jump. Games that entered the chart during the period are listed separately.
  • Filters. 18+ (hidden by default), publishers (no AAA by default, all, or self-published only), chart depth (top 1,000, 3,000 or 5,000), list length (30, 50 or 100) and tag. The link keeps your settings, so a configured view can be shared.
  • What stands out sums the period up above the chart: the biggest gain, the biggest jump and the tags the risers carry far more often than the chart as a whole.
  • Share image next to the chart and next to the table saves each of them as a picture; a link to the page shows its own preview card.
  • Steam does not publish wishlist counts: the wishlist numbers are our approximate estimate based on chart place. Followers are the game’s Steam community followers.
