January 2026

Month in Review is an automated, data-driven recap of every game made by Belgian studios. It publishes on the first day of each month, covering the previous calendar month from launch dates through to live community signals.

Releases are sourced from a combination of self-reported launch dates, Steam, and IGDB. Peak concurrent-player counts are aggregated from daily Steam snapshots collected by GameIndustry.be. When available, Discord member growth is measured from the first to the last day of the report month for each official server, the YouTube section ranks videos published in-month by view count, the screenshot gallery samples the latest media from in-month launches, and the on-the-horizon list surfaces titles whose record was created during the month with a release date still in the future.

A note on coverage. Some signals were not yet being captured by January 2026, so this recap leaves out Discord community signals, trending-score movements, and the YouTube round-up. Newer reports include them as the data became available.
