How we compare
Every number above is raw, public data — Steam concurrent player count and 24-hour peak from SteamCharts, weekly YouTube video volume, and current Twitch viewers. No estimates, no editorial weighting, no tracking-wall numbers. Both sides refresh daily with TrendForge's pipeline, so the comparison tracks what's happening right now, not a snapshot from launch week.
Raw popularity is only half the story, though. TrendForge also re-scores every tracked game daily across Steam, YouTube, and search momentum to find the ones people are searching for that creators aren't covering yet — a content-gap ranking that a head-to-head player-count table can't show. The game with more players isn't always the bigger YouTube opportunity.
Both Marvel Rivals and PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS sit on today's content-gap leaderboard — see where they actually rank and which one is the bigger YouTube opportunity.
