Steam Breaks Concurrent Player Record Again, Surpassing 36 Million
The gaming platform achieved a new milestone with over 36 million concurrent users, signaling a robust growth in PC gaming.
- Steam's concurrent player count exceeded 36 million over the weekend, marking the third record-breaking week in a row.
- The surge in users is attributed to factors like the ongoing Steam Spring Sale and high-profile game releases such as Stardew Valley's 1.6 update and Dragon's Dogma 2.
- This growth represents an 8.9% increase in concurrent players over the last 30 days, a significant uptick not seen in recent times.
- Discounts on popular titles during the Steam Spring Sale, including up to 80% off on selected games, have contributed to the platform's user increase.
- The platform's continuous record-breaking performance underscores the increasing popularity of gaming and Steam's dominant position in the PC gaming market.
