CS PRESS / CHARTS & DISCOVERY
THE CURRENT
& UNDERCURRENT
TWO CHARTS. ONE CLEARER PICTURE.
Track the industry. Discover the overlooked. Original data-led rankings from Coloured Static Press, built to show the evidence behind every movement.
TWO DISTINCT INDEXES
WEEKLY FORMAT
TRANSPARENT METHODS
01
CS PRESS / MAINSTREAM
THE CURRENT
WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS PLAYING
A cross-platform view of the games attracting attention, with position changes, source context and an archive of each comparable edition.
02
CS PRESS / INDIE DISCOVERY
UNDERCURRENT
FIND WHAT’S MOVING BELOW THE SURFACE
A momentum-led Top 10 celebrating independently produced games without confusing editorial recommendations with calculated popularity.
Better charts, by design.
01 / EVIDENCE
See the source
Every future ranking will identify the sources, territory, collection window and calculation method.
02 / MOVEMENT
Follow the trend
New entries, climbers, returnees and meaningful changes shown against a comparable earlier snapshot.
03 / INDEPENDENCE
No bought positions
Review scores, PR access, advertising and commercial relationships never determine chart positions.
STATUS / FIRST VERIFIED SNAPSHOTS LIVE
The first evidence-backed editions are here.
The Current now has a dated Top 20 attention index built from observed Steam and Xbox UK source rankings. Undercurrent is live as a seven-game, source-linked discovery radar. Its first numerical Top 10 will follow when we have enough comparable historical observations to measure indie momentum fairly.
Official charts mix sales, play activity and monthly downloads, and those are different measurements. We will label source cadence and region instead of treating unlike figures as interchangeable.
