There were nearly a million players on Counter-Strike and half a million on Dota 2 on Saturday, Steam’s most popular day.

Terraria Journey’s End is the fourth and final major update for the sandbox game. The patch notes are pages long, with tons of new content. Changes include new modes, new NPCs, new weather effects, over 800 new craftable weapons, and much, much more.
