Steam Sees New All-Time Concurrent Users Peak at Over 38 Million

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Steam‘s growth is as relentless as a Level 90 WoW Warrior on a quest for rare loot. The sheer number of concurrent users it boasts is nothing short of mind-boggling, especially when you consider the multitude of other platforms vying for our digital attention.


As a gamer, I’m hardly taken aback by Steam’s ongoing expansion, given the plethora of other game launchers and digital platforms catering to PC gamers. Time and again, Valve’s platform manages to reach new peaks, and this time is no exception.

On Sunday, I was thrilled to learn that according to SteamDB, Steam had broken its own record for concurrent users, boasting a whopping 38,367,277 users! Incredibly, at that moment, a staggering 12,270,218 of those gamers were engrossed in playing a game. The rest, it seems, were enjoying the platform in various other ways beyond just gaming.

In March alone this year, Steam achieved an unprecedented peak of 36 million simultaneous users, surpassing the previous high of around 33 million from just a few months earlier. This growth trend indicates that the platform’s user base is expanding consistently. Given this trajectory, it seems likely that Steam will soon reach the 40 million mark, which would make for another impressive milestone on its journey.
