How many people play survival horror games on Steam?

The ten most played survival horror games have 34,768 players on Steam between them right now. These are Steam players only: games that also run on their own launcher or on console have players this number cannot see.

Which games count as survival horror games?

Games whose Steam players voted "Survival Horror" as one of their defining tags: among the game's five most-voted tags, with at least half as many votes as the top one. A game that merely has a few Survival Horror votes does not count, which keeps the list to games that are survival horror games, not games with a Survival Horror moment in them.
