After 2 years, Steam updated the record for the peak of online – already more than 18.8 million people

Steam for the first time in almost two years, it updated the record for the number of players who simultaneously launched a service client: if in March 2018 the figure was 18.521 million people, today it is 18.8 million.

At the same time, online continues to grow, so what will be the record this time remains to be seen.

Author Steamdb notesthat even though the online record is broken, this time directly played about a million people less: 5.8 million people now against almost 7 million people in March 2018.

The most popular games currently on Steam:

  1. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive – 824 855 people
  2. Dota 2 – 650 721 people
  3. Pubg – 550 638 people
  4. Grand theft auto v – 252 227 people
  5. Monster hunter: world – 222 423 people
  6. Rainbow six siege – 158,267 people
  7. Destiny 2 – 81,378 people
  8. ARK: Survival Evolved – 76 561 people
  9. Football Manager 2023 – 75 410 people
  10. Rust – 67,002 people.

Players believe that the increase in peak online was primarily due to Steam bots.
