Steam has just set a new record for concurrent players, as it surpassed over 31 million players that were simultaneously online. This comes only a month after Steam hit its 30 million concurrent player record.

This new record shows how successful Steam really is. It may also explain why a lot of publishers that had their own stores have returned to Valve’s digital store. Microsoft and EA were among the first ones, followed by Activision and Ubisoft.

Let’s also take a look at the most played games when Steam set its new concurrent players record.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is at the top place, followed by Dota 2. PUBG Battlegrounds is in third place, followed by Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2/Warzone 2.0, Apex Legends and Lost Ark. Grand Theft Auto 5 is in seventh place, whereas Wallpaper Engine, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT and Team Fortress 2 are in eighth, ninth and tenth place, respectively.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved - and still does - the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
