Est. wishlists gained: Steam publishes no wishlist counts. Estimated as followers × 17 (range × 10 to × 32), from 6 games whose studios stated their wishlist count — a rough estimate, not a reported figure. Only for a game not yet out at the event, or out under 60 days by its end: after that, followers are not a wishlist signal. The multiplier was set on games' total followers, never on a gain during an event, so applying it to one is a further stretch.
Biggest lift in players
Mean concurrent players during the event, against the 14 days before it.
| # | Game | Players vs the 14 days before | Readings |
