Game news Steam: The preferred platform of PC gamers sets a new record!
As the Steam winter sale draws to a close, Valve’s platform continues its journey as the # 1 medium for PC gamers. GOG and EA Access can’t compete, and the Epic Games Store has yet to, beyond players arriving through Fortnite, continue to grow. Until then, Valve may be rubbing their hands with setting a new record.
Growth that continues unhindered
End November, and as the days quickly grew shorter, Steam set a new record for the most users logged in simultaneously, with 27.3 million active players the same time. An extremely high number, but that doesn’t mean 27.3 million people were playing. Based on the data collected at that time, around 9 million players had a spinning title. That being said, Steam has exploded its own record, set in March with 26.9 million logged in users, and it was hard to imagine him being beaten quickly.
This was without counting the end-of-year celebrations, health restrictions all over the world, the lack of new generation consoles and the sales currently underway. Indeed, Steam broke its own record on January 2 at 2:50 p.m., detecting 27,942,036 users logged in at the same time, including 8.2 million playing to one of the many titles available.
Obviously, this record could not have been established without recent and remarkable releases, such as New World, Halo Infinite, Age of Empires IV, Naraka Bladepoint or even Battlefield 2042, but the top 10 most played games consisted above all of historical titles, sometimes in place for ten years or more.
In order, we found: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, PUBG, Apex Legends, Grand Theft Auto V, Team Fortress 2, Rust, New World, ARK: Survival Evolved and Football Manager 2022. For those and those who are interested, the sales continue and will end on Wednesday January 5 at 7 p.m.. Until then, you can grab the Steam Awards winners for less, with the exception of Farming Simulator 22:
