Steam has just set a new record of concurrent players. Earlier today, Valve’s service passed over 39 million concurrent players. To be more precise, it hit 39,205,447 concurrent players.

Steam set its previous record of 38 million concurrent players in September 2024. In other words, it took around three months to break it.

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

The most played game right now is Counter-Strike 2, followed by Dota 2. Path of Exile 2 is the third most played game in the last 24 hours, something that should please Grinding Gear Games. Another game that just came out, Marvel’s Rivals, is in the fourth place.

In fifth place, we find PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Rust, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Call of Duty are in seventh, eighth and ninth place, respectively. Delta Force which came out in Early Access is in the tenth place.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is still going strong as it was the twelfth most-played game this weekend. Farming Simulator 25 was in seventeenth place, whereas EA SPORTS FC 25 and STALKER 2 were in the twenty-third and twenty-fourth place, respectively.

And there you have it. Steam is still growing and, from the looks of it, it has not hit yet its ceiling. This is why most publishers want to be on Valve’s service. The PC crowd that is using it is huge.

It will be interesting to see when Steam will hit 40 million players. I can’t see this happening in December but hey, you never know. Nevertheless, it’s spectacular witnessing Steam’s continuous growth over the past few years.

Stay tuned for more!
