Steam most recently broke a player record, reaching 26 million concurrent players in April. Now, the data shared by SteamDB shows that a new record has been broken with 27 million. CS: GO, Dota 2 and PUBG lead the most played productions within Steam.
While Steam broke its own record, there were 7.8 million players in the game at that moment. This was below the record set by 8.1 million as of March 2020. However, when we look at the numbers, we see that there is still a significant audience playing CS: GO.
CS:GO topped the list
CS: GO reached the highest number of players on Steam with 915,791. Dota 2 followed it with 677,744 players, while PUBG had 344,841 players. On the Halo Infinite side, we see that a bone mass has formed yet in the beta stage. Because it has reached an important level such as 146.212 players.

Pandemic has increased player numbers significantly
The upward trend of the Steam platform started with the Covid-19 pandemic. People who closed their homes to isolate themselves turned to games in this process. For example, on February 2, Steam’s current record of 18,537,490 was surpassed to reach 18,801,944. Since then, the numbers have exceeded 20 million for the first time.
The event held for Thanksgiving contributed greatly to increasing the number of Steam players. In addition, situations such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday also had a significant impact. Players who bought Cyberpunk 2077 for half the price also left positive responses about the production. Thus, the rating of the game was raised on the digital sales platform.
Steam’s Autumn discounts are still valid. At this point, it is expected that the platform will increase the number of players even more. Although Epic Games has made an important breakthrough, Steam is still in the leading seat when we look at it.
