As one of the largest platforms for playing PC games, Steam boasts an extensive library of titles, ranging from AAA releases to tiny indie games. With a library of over 130,000 games, it's impressive when any single game manages to stand out and become the number one trending title on the platform.

With over 133,000 players, it has nearly 100,000 more than the second top-trending game, the recently released 007 First Light.
