Will New World be a Top 3 game on Steam one month after release?

This is a market on whether New World will be in the Top 3 games on Steam in terms of peak players on October 28, 2021 at 11:59PM ET. Results of this market will be decided by official Steam player counts available at https://store.steampowered.com/stats/. The games listed at the resolution source will be ranked from highest to lowest based on the amounts in the "Peak Today" column. In the case of ties, the market will use standard competition ranking ("1224" ranking), where each game's ranking number is 1 plus the number of games ranked above it. If New World is in the top 3 or tied for the third spot, the market will resolve "Yes", and otherwise "No." In the event the resolution source is not available on October 28, 2021 at 11:59PM ET, another credible source will be chosen. If no other credible sources are available, the sources will be checked every 24 hours until November 28, 2021 when the market will resolve 50-50.

How trading works

Polymarket uses a central limit order book (CLOB) model — you can buy or sell shares of any outcome at the current market price, or place limit orders at your target price. All positions are settled in USDC when the market resolves.

Resolution

Markets resolve through UMA's Optimistic Oracle. After the market closes, a proposer submits a resolution, followed by a 2-hour dispute window. If no dispute is raised, the resolution is accepted. Disputed markets go to UMA token holder vote.
