October 13 morning: chart changes and Steam release watch

13 October 2026 · Morning edition · Beijing time (UTC+8)

Reading this edition’s changes

Current game news comes from Steam. TapTap and itch.io were not refreshed, so no new chart movement is calculated for them and last evening’s movements are not recycled as morning news. A newly seen Steam listing only means entry into this observed prefix; release status is checked separately against official details and availability.

Steam date windows and actual coverage

Targets are September 29–October 12 for past releases and October 14–20 for planned releases, with October 13 separate. The date-sorted recent branch displayed 1,000 records: 998 unique app IDs, one duplicate and one other product, reaching October 1–12 but not September 29–30. The relevance-sorted future branch displayed 500 records and 499 unique app IDs, with dates from October 12–21; this prefix cannot establish complete coverage of the future week. Both stopped at their page/record budgets.

October 13 plans remain separate

The current upcoming directory still lists October 13 plans for Galdr Inkblade, Nursing Home Simulator and Race on Stream! They did not use the future-seven-day detail slots, and directory presence is not treated as proof that they are now on sale.
