Steam has just set a new record for concurrent users. A few hours ago, there were over 18 million Steam users online at the same time (to be precise, there were 18,528,722 users). The previous 17 million milestone was set back in November 2017, and it took almost one and a half months in order to hit the 18 million goal.
According to the graphs, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds remains the top most played game with over 3 million concurrent players. Bluehole’s battle royale game is undoubtedly one of the biggest games of the PC in its history. In fact, the game nears Minecraft and it’s only a matter of time until it becomes the best selling PC game.
The second game with the most concurrent players was DOTA 2 780,061 players, followed by Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Grand Theft Auto V. Rainbow Six Siege continues to impress with its healthy playerbase and is in fifth place, followed by ARK: Survival Evolved and Team Fortress 2. And in the last three places (for the Top 10 Steam games with the most concurrent players) we find Rust, Football Manager 2018 and Garry’s Mod.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

PC Gaming is dying they say.
Don’t think I’ve seen anyone saying that since 2008
I only see people saying it in the same way he did. Never serious.
Then you’re not looking. Even for a google click…..
Unless they’re brand loyal fanboys, sure, but there was a time even re**rded investors and analysts were making that re**rded statement.
There are exceptions, but of course most won’t speak that now with this enormous leap for PC gaming community. Would anyone? Even the ones that touted that before 2010 are being looked and ridiculed.
Don’t poo on my chest and tell me it’s chocolate
The only people saying that are console fanboys and I don’t see why you’d pay them any mind.
I’ve seen it for years around the net. even people reaching 14 yrs have been taught to think that PC gaming is archaic and dying.
Not a single CoD game featured in that top 35 list. Great to see.
As it should be, I’m glad PC gamers have moved on from that trash franchise
Considering how Acti has given less and less of a care for PC gaming, can’t say I’m surprised. Karma comes and goes, and it comes for them a lot.
I don’t see anyone crying about the Chinese now
I pee pee
