A couple of days ago, we informed you about Steam reaching 8 million concurrent users. On January 1st, Steam hit a new record with 8.4 million concurrent users and in just one day, another record was set.
On January 2nd, Steam hit 8.5 million concurrent users online. Now while a 9 million record was reported back in November, we can clearly notice that that graph seems fishing (there is a very fishy spike).
For what is worth, this new record is legit and without any sorts of ‘unusual’ spikes as we can see from the graph below.
Moreover, we can see that DOTA 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are the most popular titles on Steam these days. Team Fortress 2, Football Manager 2015 and Garry’s Mod are also doing great, and Skyrim is still in the top10 most played games.
Enjoy!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
