How is 'most-played' measured?

By current concurrent players — the number of people actively in-game right now, from Steam's official ISteamChartsService charts endpoint. It is not owners or sales: a game can have huge ownership but few concurrent players, and vice-versa.

How often does this update?

Steam publishes concurrent-player counts continuously. This page reads the live chart and caches it for a few minutes, so it reflects Steam's official numbers within minutes.
