51 Comments

Yesterday, Steam set a new record for concurrent users as more than 11 million users were online simultaneously. To be more precise, there were 11,625,415 Steam users online yesterday, thus showing how successful Valve’s distribution service actually is.

According to Steam’s graphs, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was the most played game today as it peaked at 670,081 gamers. DOTA 2 comes second, in the third place we find Team Fortress 2 and in the fourth place we find the dino survival title, ARK: Survival Evolved. Sid Meier’s Civilization V is in the fifth place, followed by GTA V, Garry’s Mod, Football Manager 2015, PAYDAY 2 and Skyrim.

    That day when we hit 20M PC gamers 😉

    • Paul Insco

      You are not Valve. There is way more than 20M PC gamers they just aren’t all on steam.

    • Are you kidding me? There are a ton of PC gamers not on Steam or ON steam, but they also go on other platforms or just play older games. Steam is not PC gaming, but its a huge part of it.

      Keep telling yourself that fool. 😐

        Maybe, just maybe, it is sarcasm.

        • It must be because the PS4 is outdated, low scoring AAA games, remasters and needs indie titles to prop it up. Amazes me how PS4 users can claim so much greatness when Sony has been losing so much money over the years as well.

          • 7thGuest

            But.. but.. Sean, exclusives and… stuff.

          • Bloodborne, wow, basically a Dark Souls clone from the same company, it’s the only one with a good score, never mind the rest of the failed AAA exclusives. :p

          • 7thGuest

            Don’t forget the poor guy who played Uncharted 2 thinking that it was 4.
            Totally can’t blame him, see U1 seen them all. 😛

          • I didn’t hear about that but it sounds funny.

          • 7thGuest

            It was a “journo” from VG247.
            lol, heard that days ago but still funny. xD

          • hvd hvd

            dont talk to him i have been down that road before. no matter wha you say even if its fact hell spin it. no point talking to a brick wall.

          • 7thGuest

            I’m not sure you got the point there mate. :v

          • Let’s ask him what percentage of consoles users actually have a 1080p capable TV, he seems to make the assumption they all do. :p

          • 7thGuest

            LMAO!

          • Yes but your so called facts are wrong, you can even do simple maths. What’s 34% of 125 million again? LOL

          • hvd hvd

            what up fun fact 34% of 125,000,000 steam users which is every pc gamer use 1080p..lol

            more people one the ps4 use 1080p then pc at least % wise..lulz

          • Psionicinversion

            34% is of 125mill is 42.5mill more than the ps4 and xbox one combined!!!!

          • The idiot can’t even do simple maths.

          • Psionicinversion

            of course… have to go for school for that!!

          • The fact is you can on the PC, all the way upto 4K, PS4 games like AC Syndicate, BF series, ACU all run at 900p on the PS4.

            Also you seem to make assumptions about PC users based on the Steam hardware survey, typical console idiot.

          • Amir

            you fact smells like turd. 34% of the people who took the survey not 34% of all.

        • SuperBeautifulNoise .

          It is possible but I doubt it. 🙁

      • Paul Insco

        Not only did you take the bait he was just joking. What a cocknard.

    • Akirascreaming

      I have ps4 too and I find your comment stupido

    • Paul Insco

      Take your war bait somewhere else troll.

    • Even if that weak crap is the future, we still have a ton of games already here, in fact PC gaming has the most games if i remember right, and theres still a lot more games incoming.

      Oh and remember how PS3 was the future and PC gaming was dead? Yea… about that…

      • hvd hvd

        pc is about esports as this chart says.consoles are still king of AAA titles,

        • and those AAA titles are not that good, don’t forget the failed AAA and remasters.

  • Oscar

    More money into Valves deeeeeeeep pockets… yet no new Half-life, Portal, Team-Fortress, Day of Defeat, or L4D game… So much money… so little games 🙁

  • anaconda

    • Maxim Pawleen

    • hvd hvd

      its all esports

  • Akirascreaming

    Good think I was playing killer is dead yesterday 😀

  • KenleySo

    wow csgo beat doto 2

  • Shredder Orokusaki

    And in 2 weeks when Steam Link and Machines release that will bring pc gaming to the living room it will hit a record of Over 30 millions users at the same time.!!!!

    • hvd hvd

      steam machines are just a barley upgradeable machines.not matter what they will still use pc requirements.they are already out dated by the time they launchyou are better off getting a console for games then a steam machine or build a pc.

      • Shredder Orokusaki

        They are aimed at console only gamers not us pc gamers. Even the cheapest one is more powerful than the ps4 so console gamers will buy them because they offer a better experinece than both xbox one and ps4:better graphics and resolution, they can use whatever controller they want, they dont have to pay for online because steam is free, they can upgrade them with pc compoments. For what they offer and for those that they aimed for(console gamers) they are good. For us pc gamers no as we have already a powerful pc and if we want to play on tv we will only need a Steam Link.

        • hvd hvd

          it still uses pc specs for games which means it will need up grades.and its has limited upgrade options.and youe still better off building a pc instead of one of these.or get a console that doesnt need up grades.both are still beter then this.

          • Psionicinversion

            it wont need upgrades because the games are already limited by what the consoles can achieve. AC Syndicate got a massive downgrade in every aspect of the game because consoles couldnt run Unity… youll only need to upgrade your steam machine when the next consoles come out

  • archaven

    no matter how high PC gamers.. it’s no match to consoles sales.

  • hvd hvd

    to bad only 34% of steam users run 1080p.. lol. joking aside this chart showes you what pc gaming has become esports. top 4 games are esports. i hate esports ii will never play them… lol
    i use my pc for AAA titles and mmo’s. i whish esports would just go away… lol

  • hvd hvd

    this is a miss leading article. its talking about peak time. if you click the pic twice you will see the graoh. the graph the graph shows up and down times. its more like 7-8 million steady online.
    just click the pic twice and you will see. as i said its miss leading article to boast steam.

  • Psionicinversion

    how is it misleading? was there or wasnt there 11 million users online at the same time?

  • Yes, peak, which means it’s a new record, moron.

  • Shut it pleb.

  • KenleySo

    why u hate esports pleb?
