Steam has just set a new record for its concurrent players. According to SteamData, there were over 30 million concurrent players on October 23rd.

Steam broke its previous record, hitting 29 million concurrent players, in January 2022. This means that it took Valve around eight months in order to hit Steam’s 30 million goal.

It’s also interesting taking a look at the most played games when Steam set its new concurrent players record.

As always, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is at the top place, followed by Dota 2. Lost Ark is in third place, followed by Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends and PUBG Battlegrounds. Rust is in seventh place, whereas Destiny 2, The Sims 4 and GTA 5 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.
