Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We've got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.

There are plenty of reasons for PC gamers to skim the list of the most-played games on Steam on a regular basis. What are the hottest games of the moment? How's my favorite game doing these days? Is that new release breaking any records?

Give it a shot! In the quiz below, I'll give you two-and-a-half minutes to list as many of those 20 games as you can. Your answers don't have to be in order, and don't be shy about clicking the hint button, which will reveal a letter at a time for the next blank spot on the list.

If it helps jog your memory, I also included the peak player counts for all 20 of these games. (The data is based on SteamDB's list of the most-played games, sorted by all-time peak.) There may also be some abbreviations accepted as answers to save you some time.

I shared this quiz around PC Gamer this morning and most of us could only get between five and ten (even me, and I'm the one who created the quiz). Can you do better? The clock starts when you click the button below!

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
