Steam has just set a new record for concurrent users. According to the official stats, earlier today there were 19,728,027 Steam players online at the same time.
It’s also worth noting that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has surpassed one million concurrent players. As such, CS: GO is the third game on Steam that has managed to break the one million goal.
DOTA 2 is in second place of most concurrent players right now with 694,829 players online. PUBG is in third place, followed by Rainbow Six Siege and Grand Theft Auto 5.
It will be interesting to see whether Steam will be able to hit the two million goal later this week. After all, a lot of countries are under quarantine due to the Coronavirus.
Stay tuned for more!

Being stuck inside during a pandemic will do that.

poor tim sweeney lol
Before the launch of EGS Sweeney said He planned to build a store that would rival Steam one day.
15 months later adding a shopping cart is still listed as a long range goal.
Hell, even Origin had a shopping cart from day one.
EGS will probably never be anything other than mediocre in the future and if the billions of dollars from Fortnite ever dry up then the free games and paid for exclusives will end and then what happens to EGS?
Meanwhile Epic Store let me play for free 😉
don’t kid yourself there’s plenty of free games that are given away on gog and steam as well.
Lol there’s so many great free games on Steam.
more are for italy 🙁
Waiting for the obligatory “Excellent” Fernando’s comment…oh wait.

Only took the coronavirus.
Steam is like an old friend that has never let you down
Now its 20.3 million concurrent users!
I bet more people bought BL3 in this last weeked on Steam than in the last 6 months on Epic. Too bad we will never know since Epic Game Stale has never released a single number.
