Fallout 4 beats GTA 5’s record of most concurrent Steam users

4.6
Mere hours after launch, Fallout 4 has climbed up all the way to top of the Steam charts, second only to Dota 2.

Fallout 4 went live in most parts of the world overnight. That includes the PC version – which, according to Steam’s own stats, is currently the most-played non-Valve game on the service.

Second only to Dota 2, Fallout 4 peaked at 290,461 today. As of this writing, 239,266 players are now exploring its vast wastelands.

Back in April, when the PC version of GTA 5 launched, it climbed to the same spot, but peaked with considerably less players at 196,700.

For Fallout 4, this number encompasses all the copies sold, because all of them come with a Steam code, and users need a Steam account to play it. The game’s disc version doesn’t even contain the full game.

GTA 5, on the other hand, doesn’t rely on Steam, as you just need Rockstar’s Social Club launcher to run the game. That means GTA 5’s numbers only cover those who bought the game on Steam.

Fallout 4 and its season pass, currently also occupy the first and second spots on Steam’s Top Sellers list respectively.

These numbers will likely grow, as Skyrim – a nearly four-year-old game, is always present in Steam’s top 15.

Almost 100k more people downloaded Fallout 4. It does amaze me b/c everyone was really hyped for GTA 5 PC. This game was talked about A LOT, but I never thought it would get this many downloads on PC as opposed to GTA.

I knew the hype was real but dang, GTA 5 was like something to everyone as for FO4 it just seemed like something to gamers. I hope it passes dota 2 while its at it. Props to the devs who are partying right now.
