On January 9, Steam set a new record with 28 million concurrent players. And, in less than a month, Valve’s service was able to break that record and set a new one.

Earlier today, Steam had 29,201,174 players online at the same time. As such, we can safely assume that Valve’s service will surpass the 30 million target in 2022.

Looking at the most played games, we can see Counter-Strike: Global Offensive dominating the leaderboard. CS:GO is followed by DOTA 2, PUBG Battlegrounds and Yu-Gi Oh! Master Duel. Yes, you read that right. Yu Gi Oh! Master Duel managed to beat APEX Legends and Grand Theft Auto 5. APEX Legends is in fifth place and GTA5 is in sixth place. And then, in the last four places of the Top10 we find Rust, Monster Hunter Rise, NARAKA: Bladepoint and ARK: Survival Evolved.

Below is the full list of the twenty most played games!

Although he is an avid PC gamer, his gaming roots are on consoles. John loved – and still loves – 16-bit consoles and considers the SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won out over consoles. This was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John also wrote an advanced degree thesis on “The Evolution of PC Graphics Cards”.
