Circana’s latest engagement snapshot, from Mat Piscatella, shows what people were actually playing for the week ending November 29, 2025. The numbers reflect total weekly active users rather than concurrent peaks, and they cover PlayStation and Xbox activity in the United States along with Steam engagement in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The results bring back several familiar names while also showing a few shifts you can feel if you hop between platforms. Fortnite continues to anchor console time. ARC Raiders keeps its grip on Steam. GTA V Remastered remains a fixture in the mix.
As someone who jumps between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, it was funny how close these charts felt to what I saw pop up across friends lists over the weekend. Each platform has its own personality, even when a few favourites overlap.

Fortnite remains number one on both PlayStation and Xbox, which fits with how active the new season has been. Call of Duty HQ holds second place again, and GTA V Remastered continues to sit near the top on both consoles. Roblox sits high on each list, while NBA 2K26 and Battlefield 6 land in the middle of the top ten.
There are some platform differences. Where Winds Meet appears in the PlayStation top ten but not on Xbox, while ARC Raiders sneaks into the Xbox list instead. Minecraft and Marvel Rivals stay visible on both sides.

Steam US Snapshot: ARC Raiders Still Leads
Top 10 Games on Steam US
- ARC Raiders
- Battlefield 6
- Counter-Strike 2
- Where Winds Meet
- Marvel Rivals
- Risk of Rain 2
- Rocket League
- Helldivers II
- Megabonk
- Peak
In the Steam chart for the United States, ARC Raiders continues to sit at number one. Its grip on the top spot feels like momentum built through word of mouth. Battlefield 6 sits close behind and remains a conversation point among PC users. Counter-Strike 2 continues to be one of the most stable titles on Steam.
Where Winds Meet and Marvel Rivals both show up here, along with Risk of Rain 2, Rocket League, Helldivers II, and Megabonk. Steam US charts lean heavily toward shooters this week, with Peak rounding out the back half of the top ten. Seeing ARC Raiders remain on top lines up with how often I saw it mentioned in Discord chat.
Steam Canada Snapshot: Familiar but Not Identical
Top 10 Games on Steam Canada
- ARC Raiders
- Counter-Strike 2
- Battlefield 6
- Where Winds Meet
- Dota 2
- Marvel Rivals
- Risk of Rain 2
- Rocket League
- Helldivers II
- Peak
Dota 2 and Marvel Rivals add character to the Canadian rankings, with Risk of Rain 2, Rocket League, Helldivers II, and Peak rounding out the top ten. As someone gaming in Canada, it makes sense to see Counter-Strike hold such a visible spot here. The culture around it is easy to notice when looking at server activity or social feeds.
Steam Mexico Snapshot: Battlefield Takes the Lead
Top 10 Games on Steam Mexico
- Battlefield 6
- Counter-Strike 2
- ARC Raiders
- Marvel Rivals
- Peak
- R.E.P.O.
- Where Winds Meet
- Helldivers II
- Dead by Daylight
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
R.E.P.O., Where Winds Meet, and Helldivers II keep the co op and action energy going, with Dead by Daylight and Halo: The Master Chief Collection rounding out the top ten. Mexico’s chart leans more toward co op or chaotic shooter energy this week. It gives the list personality that stands out compared to the other regions.
The Big Picture This Week
Looking across regions, a few clear themes emerge. Fortnite stays dominant on consoles again while ARC Raiders holds the top spot on the Steam charts in the US and Canada. Minecraft finds renewed life on Xbox and GTA V Remastered continues to be one of the oddest long running success stories in the hobby.
Battlefield 6 dips slightly on consoles but gets a noticeable push on PC, which might be one of the clearest examples of a game clicking better on Steam than on console. Where Winds Meet keeps its visibility too. It seems to have gone from breakout performer to regular chart resident with momentum that feels steady.
All of this points to the same idea. Live service consistency remains one of the biggest drivers of engagement. Fortnite, Call of Duty, and GTA V Remastered continue to dominate console time. Steam data continues to show how competitive shooters and tactical coop experiences shape most PC activity. Regional flavour adds variety. Canada keeps Counter Strike near the top.
Mexico also gives more presence to older coop shooters that never quite fade away. Watching this weekly snapshot highlights why friends lists never seem to match when you jump between platforms. It also shows how word of mouth, free weekends, patches, or influencer chatter can move rankings without a major release prompting it.
I always find these charts fun to compare against my own week. ARC Raiders topping so many regions lined up with how often I heard people talk about it. Were you surprised by anything here? What have you been playing over the past few days? It will be interesting to see what changes next week.
