Sort Games by 'Currently Playing' for Improved Gaming Experience and purchase

[Ankido]

I'm not certain if this idea has been discussed before, but have you considered implementing a feature to sort games by 'currently playing'? This could be quite useful for players like me who want to identify active multiplayer or co-op games. Such a feature would help us find groups to join online and gauge a game's popularity when making purchase decisions. I understand that developers might have concerns about their games not getting as much visibility if they're not actively played, but ultimately, this feature would benefit users. Is there a possibility of adding this feature to our homepage or as an overall improvement? I find myself always going to the community to see if there are active users and how many.

Not a bad idea to have player counts a little more upfront instead of (only sometimes) hiding in the community hub.

For now, I'd recommend https://steamdb.info/charts/ if you want a search tool for current players/24h Peak that also gives the option to search by categories like multi-player or co-op. It covers every game compared to Steam which only displays the top 100 list.
