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 😉
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.
Yeahh baby!!;)
pc gaming is dead,the future is the ps4 :)!
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It must be because the PS4 is outdated, low scoring AAA games, remasters and needs indie titles to prop it up.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.
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
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.
It was a “journo” from VG247.
lol, heard that days ago but still funny. xD
oh my god :))
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.
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
LMAO!
Yes but your so called facts are wrong, you can even do simple maths. What’s 34% of 125 million again? LOL
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
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.
The idiot can’t even do simple maths.
you fact smells like turd. 34% of the people who took the survey not 34% of all.
It is possible but I doubt it. 🙁
Not only did you take the bait he was just joking. What a cocknard.
I have ps4 too and I find your comment stupido
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…
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.
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 🙁
no body play cod on pc 🙂
Because Euro Truck Simulator is MUCH better lo 😉
its all esports
#SteamFtW
Good think I was playing killer is dead yesterday 😀
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.!!!!
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.
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.
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.
no matter how high PC gamers.. it’s no match to consoles sales.
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
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.
Yes, peak, which means it’s a new record, moron.
Shut it pleb.
