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.
Steam broke a record for concurrent players. Thanks to the Summer Sale and some popular games, the platform reached unexpected 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.
