Steam Hits Concurrent User Record
Steam broke its own record for concurrent users online this past Sunday, surpassing the prior record of 18,537,490 users set back on January 14, 2018.
The PC gaming platform experienced a peak of 18,801,944 concurrent players on Sunday at around 6:20 AM PT/9:20 AM ET/2:20 PM GMT, according to SteamDB. Interestingly enough, however, there were actually fewer people in-game than when the previous record was set in 2018, down from seven million to 5.8 million.
.@Steam has broken its record for most concurrently online users that was held for two years. Previous record was 18,537,490 users. It’s still increasing!
But there’s about 1 million less players actually in-game (≈5.8mil vs ≈7mil two years ago).https://t.co/D6WDHbz0B4

What, exactly, those near-19 million users were doing at the time Steam hit its peak is difficult to ascertain. The likes of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Grand Theft Auto V, Monster Hunter: World, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbox Six Siege were among the most played games at the time, but their combined player numbers only make up a fraction of the 5.8 million users in-game. Either way, the uptick in concurrent users has been coming, as Steam recently hit one billion accounts and 90 million active users per month.
