Steam broke another record with over 35 million people online

By - | Views: 23,368

It was only last week I was writing about Steam's growth hitting 34 million players online, and here they are breaking another record to hit well over 35 million.

At 2PM UTC on March 10th, you all smashed that barrier once again for Steam to hit a new peak of 35,385,530 according to SteamDB. At the time 11,117,276 people were actually in game too!

The games with the most players in the last 24 hours were:

  • Counter-Strike 2
  • Dota 2
  • PUBG: Battlegrounds
  • Apex Legends
  • Helldivers 2

It's clearly going to be another huge year for Steam, with records being repeatedly broken this early on in the year. But it's not exactly surprising though as we've had multiple huge releases recently like Helldivers 2, Palworld and Last Epoch.

I've been loving it, playing it nearly every day. It's fun solo, and amazing with a squad of friends. The war is actually constantly changing with different factions pushing harder at any given time helping the game feel dynamic. It helps the devs also seem to care and aren't just trying to milk their audience for money.

I fully agree. It's so much fun. I especially like to role play in the missions and talk patriotic trash over the voice chat.
