In total, Steam had 273,385,025 users online. Previously, Valve's peak concurrent player count as 26.9 million, which was achieved in April. These record player counts came during Steam's Autumn sale, and during a major holiday period within North America. On top of that, recent months have seen the launch of many popular new PC games on the platform, such as Naraka: Bladepoint, New World, and MIR4.
Over he weekend, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive remained as Steam's top title with over 800,000 concurrent players. DOTA 2 was second with over 650,000 players and PUBG achieved player counts of 240,000. While Valve's Steam platform has seen growing competition in recent years, with the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store gaining popularity amongst many PC gamers. Even so, Valve's Steam platform remains the king of the PC market and is continuing to grow.
Those are very impressive player numbers.
