WildStar Gaming Pulse
The cross-platform games chart.
WildStar Gaming Pulse is a collated cross-platform chart built from published platform and storefront charts, alongside independently tracked ranking data across Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo. It is not a WildStar opinion ranking. The Pulse simply brings those separate popularity signals together into one consistent weekly score.

Key takeaways
Leader
EA SPORTS FC 27
Still #1, now charting across all four platform families. Its Pulse Score rises from 65 to 72.5.
Big mover
Minecraft
Minecraft climbs three places to #3, combining strong Xbox and Nintendo positions with a PlayStation Top 10 appearance.
New Nintendo wave
Kingdom Hearts + Minecraft Dungeons II
Nintendo’s two current #1 signals send both titles straight into the Pulse Top 6.
How the Pulse works
01
Collect
Take the current Top 10 unique games from each tracked platform family.
02
Score
Award 10 points for #1 down to 1 point for #10.
03
Multiply
Add the raw platform points and multiply by 2.5 for a score out of 100.
How the Pulse Score works
- WildStar takes the top 10 unique games from the current Steam UK, PlayStation UK and Xbox UK charts.
- Each platform awards 10 raw points for #1, 9 for #2, down to 1 point for #10.
- Different editions and SKUs of the same game are collapsed into one title before the unique Top 10 is scored.
- Nintendo is one platform family. Because Switch and Switch 2 publish separate charts, each Nintendo sub-chart is normalised independently and a game receives only its better Nintendo score.
- The raw platform points are added together. A perfect four-platform score would total 40 raw points.
- The raw total is multiplied by 2.5 to create the Pulse Score out of 100. Reach is shown separately and does not change the score.
- The theoretical maximum Pulse Score is 100.
- Reach shows how many of the four platform families a game appears on, for example 1/4 or 4/4.
What Pulse is measuring
Gaming Pulse is not a WildStar opinion chart, and it should not be read as a single sales or player-count ranking. The underlying sources measure different forms of popularity, including sales, revenue and most-played positions. WildStar collates those published platform rankings into one transparent score based on current popularity and cross-platform chart performance.
Pre-orders: A pre-release game can appear in Gaming Pulse when the tracked platform or storefront itself ranks paid pre-orders in its published chart. Pre-release entries are clearly marked and are scored using exactly the same published chart-position rules as released games.
Tie-breakers
1. More platform families charted
2. Higher best individual platform position
3. Alphabetical order if still tied

Source freshness differs because the platforms do not publish on the same cadence. WildStar records the date used for every source rather than presenting older data as live. Steam currently lists AION 2 at #2 in the UK Top Sellers chart while also flagging the title as unavailable in the region; Pulse follows the published chart position. Platform launchers or bundles are only normalised to a specific game when the source clearly identifies the same title.
