Steam 38 million concurrent players

This comes almost a month after Steam’s previous record. So, in just a month, Steam was able to increase its numbers by one million players.

Let’s now take a look at the Top 20 Most Played Games in the last 24 hours.

Top 20 Most Played Steam Games

The most played game right now is Counter-Strike 2, followed by PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and DOTA 2. Black Myth: Wukong is still doing well. Although it dropped two places, it’s still the fourth most played PC game on Steam. And, let’s not forget that this isn’t a multiplayer game. That’s truly astonishing.

In fifth place, we find Banana. Banana is a free to play title in which you click the Banana to gain even more Bananas. It sounds like a pretty simple game, right? Well, its recent reviews are Mostly Positive, and it has a lot of players.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is in sixth place, followed by Apex Legends, Satisfactory and GTA 5. Yes. GTA V is still in the Top 10 Most Played Games. That’s for everyone who still doubts that Rockstar will release GTA6 on PC.

Valve’s Deadlock is in eleventh place. Deadlock has not even been officially revealed yet. And despite that, it had over 150K players in the last 24 hours. So, it’s almost certain that the game will do incredible numbers once it comes out.

Another game that will catch your attention is Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. Space Marine 2 has managed to surpass games like Call of Duty, Elden Ring and Team Fortress 2.

Finally, Helldivers 2 is not in the Top 20. Instead, the game has fallen to the 26th place. Similarly, Elden Ring is in 21st place, and Team Fortress 2 is in 24th place.

It will be interesting to see when Steam will pass over 39 million concurrent players, or when it will hit 40 million players.
