Steam’s growth continues without slowing down. In 2025, the PC game giant exceeded a significant turning point and announced that it reached 40 million simultaneous users. Steam added one million users to this number every few months and closed the year 2024 with 39 million simultaneous users in December.

According to Valve’s data, Steam had 40,222,964 simultaneous online users on Sunday, February 2. One of the games that contributed to this record was Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds.

The game, which was released on February 28, reached 1.3 million simultaneous players on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This impressive success managed to leave the previous records such as Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Hand from Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur’s Gate 3, Path of Exile 2, as well as gigantic free games such as Marvel Rivals and Apex Legends.

According to Steamdb data, Monster Hunter Wilds’ 1.3 million players in Steam have only been able to leave the simultaneous records of PUBG (3.7 million), Black Myth: Wukong (2.4 million), Palworld (2.1 million) and Counter-Strike 2 (1.7 million). It is interesting that Valve won one million more players to his platform with every new big game broadcast and that these players remain on the platform. For example, in December last year, Path of Exile 2’s early access launch, Steam’s 39 million simultaneous user records.

Doom: The Dark Ages, Hand Ring Night Nighttign, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Borderlands 4 for 2025, such as Steam users can break more records in the coming months. In addition, the game that will probably break a record -breaking game in every field of the year, excitedly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI’yı should not be forgotten.
