Steam started 2022 with a bang. The platform, which made a good start to the new year, renewed its record of simultaneous players. This time, it managed to reach 27.9 million people earlier in the day. The record was set by SteamDB. This represented the highest peak of the digital game sales platform so far.
Steam’s records are often broken outside of business hours. Because during these hours, most people need to play a game. Players want to experience the games they bought before from the very large game store when they are available. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic in the world was the biggest factor in this. As a result, everyone was confined to their homes during this period. People also found the best activity to do in games.
Steam exploded during the coronavirus period
Steam’s upward trend did not come as a surprise. When we look at it, we see that the first such increase period took place in January 2020. During this period, the world was trying to isolate itself from the coronavirus pandemic. In this case, as I mentioned above, people dedicate themselves to playing games.
Since February, the record of the Steam platform has been broken many times. The digital game platform recently shared a list of the best games. In this context, games were awarded in various categories such as the best of 2021, bestsellers, new releases, and most played games.
The top-grossing games on Steam in 2021 were Dead by Daylight, Valheim and New World. Halo Infinite, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and Farming Simulator 2022 made up the biggest games of the year. Resident Evil Village was the one that made up a lot of the other games of the year.
