Steam Concurrent Player Count Breaks Record Again, Tops 26 Million
It has been about a year since the start of the global pandemic, and a lot of people are staying at home playing video games. We’ve seen Steam’s concurrent player count break its own record several times during this stretch, and the record has been broken once again.
Industry analyst Piers Harding-Rolls shared the news on Twitter, showing that more than 26 million Steam users were logged in at the same time, representing an all-time peak for the service. The number was actually a little bit higher than what is listed in his tweet when we checked it out, so it looks like Steam’s record could grow even larger.

Street Fighter 2 Turns 30, And Some Never Stopped Playing
Street Fighter 2, one of the most important fighting games–and video games–of all time, is now 30 years old. As of February 6, it has been three decades since Ryu and company landed in arcades, and the fighter’s classic gameplay has spawned countless imitators.
In a post on its Twitter page, Capcom celebrated the game’s 30th birthday with a short gameplay clip. Street Fighter 2 was far more successful than its predecessor, which was a fairly limited game that only featured two playable characters: Ryu and Ken.

Following the initial success of Street Fighter 2, Capcom ported the game to several different systems and released follow-ups that added new features and characters. These included Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II, and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. On Switch, Ultra Street Fighter II also gives players the choice of a new or classic art style, working the classic mechanics into a game that looks like it could have released today.
