PlayIndex

In PlayIndex, games are the stocks.

Every price is driven by one number: how many people are actually playing that game

right now. Live Steam concurrent player counts are pulled every 10 minutes and turned

into a market you can trade. No fictional companies, no invented charts. When a game

blows up on a Friday night, you watch it happen on the tape.

Build a portfolio out of games you think are about to catch fire, and sell before the

hype fades.

Trade the player count

• Buy and sell anything on the board - fractional shares, so nothing is ever out of reach.

• Automate your exits - limit buys, take-profits and stop-losses trigger on the market scan while you're away.

• Read the chart - price and player history side by side, 1D/1W/1M/All ranges, average-buy and trade markers, and candlesticks once you've earned them.

• IPOs - new Steam releases debut on the board with an opening window. Get in before the price finds its level.

The market tells you why

• Market Events - every sharp move is logged and paired with the Steam headline that likely caused it: a free weekend, a big patch, a controversy.

• Live tape - a movers ticker and a running feed of what other traders are actually doing.

• News - aggregated headlines from across the top of the market, flagged when a story moved a price.

• Watchlist - star the games you're stalking and keep them one glance away.

Build a career

• Levels and XP - earned from every trade and milestone you hit.

• Badges and weekly objectives - rotating goals that pay out credits and XP.

• Cosmetics - unlock equippable titles, name colours, avatar frames, and full terminal colour themes for the whole interface.

Compete

• Global leaderboard - all-time net worth, with a public profile behind every trader on it.

• Monthly Seasons - a fresh ladder ranked on portfolio growth, not on who started first. Win one and wear it.

The City

Park your profits somewhere they can't crash. At Level 10 you unlock a savings account

and the property market: buy lots, collect rent every hour, and hedge against a bad week

on the board.

Built to fit around your day

The market ticks every 10 minutes, so PlayIndex never demands a session. Check in, study

the charts, make your moves, get on with your life. A desktop Companion app keeps your

portfolio glanceable while the game is closed.

ranked Seasons, automated orders and the property market. Buy PlayIndex to unlock

unlimited levels, unlimited holdings, monthly leagues and The City - all your demo

progress carries over.
