Steam reaches new user record

4.7
Steam has reached a new concurrent users milestone.

Sometime on Sunday, November 1, Steam reached a peak of 13,480,916 users. The number represents concurrent users worldwide, and it’s highest so far in the marketplace’s history.

In June of this year, Steam broke the 10 million mark, also for concurrent users.

The numbers may be different from month to month, but the top five most played games have seen little change. Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Team Fortress 2 still occupy the top three slots respectively. GTA 5 and ARK: Survival Evolved follow next, with the former being the highest-played non-Valve game right now.

It’s not unrealistic to imagine at least another million before the year’s end, especially considering the growth that happens around Steam’s mega holiday sale.

This is absolutely insane, Steam must have so many servers to keep this many people online at once!

-it- Not bad at all, 13million people is amazing, Hopefully steam hits the 20million mark. I never really got into steam though.


I'm sure they will hit that benchmark soon enough, steam is huge.

Synybun Maybe when more people start playing on PC we'll start getting some of the games that are usually exclusive to a console. I want to play Halo 5 but i'm not buying an entire xbox for it


Millions are already on PC. It wouldn't make a difference. It's easier to make games for console I believe, which is why they might be keeping the exclusives to them. Budget & laziness.


You can actually play halo o pc.... There is a Reddit forum for it its called "Halo online" made by a bunch of Russians who semi ported over the game and its pretty decent imo.


I'm aware of it, but companies mostly cannot be bothered to spend the extra budget or time porting it over to PC.

Wouldn't surprise me if theres a new user record in the upcoming days since Black Ops 3, Fallout 4 and Football Manager 2016 will all be coming out.
