The world’s largest gaming platform, Steam, has once again set an almost unbreakable record for its number of players. While the Summer Sale campaign continues, the total number of players on the platform has nearly reached 37 million. This figure proves Steam’s popularity and dominance in the gaming industry once again. Here are the details about the record Steam has broken…
Steam sets record with 37 million players
According to reports from the Steam data analysis platform SteamDB, the number of concurrent users on Steam reached 36,928,521 on Sunday, surpassing its previous peak.
This number exceeded the record of 36,354,393 users set in March by an increase of 600,000 users, marking an almost unbreakable record. As you know, March was also a period when Steam held a major sale campaign, highlighting the impact such campaigns have on concurrent player numbers.
The biggest factor behind Steam’s extraordinary success is the Summer Sale campaign, which has been added to the platform and attracts players. During this campaign, both AAA titles and indie games are offered at attractive discounts.
Steam’s success is significant not only for the platform itself but for the entire gaming industry. The near-complete disappearance of physical copies from the market, the growing popularity of digital distribution, changing shopping habits of players, and the effectiveness of major discount campaigns are all highlighted by this achievement.
