Steam record breaking by registering 34 million users at the same time
Steam has managed to register a record of 34 million simultaneous users, of which 11 million were playing games.
The Steam platform continues to rule the PC gaming market, and in 2024, twenty years later, this reign is still expanding. Even though competitors like Epic Games have tried to dethrone the Velo platform, Steam continues to grow. In the third month of this year, Steam has registered another record with 34 million simultaneous users.
According to SteamDB statistics, today, March 3rd (March 13), the Steam platform had 34,649,583 concurrent users. Yesterday, for the first time, this number exceeded 34 million people, and today this record has been improved. This figure was 32 million users in the previous year. In less than a year, this statistic has improved by two million, which shows the growing growth of the game industry.
This year, games like Palworld and Helldivers 2 were launched on Steam, which have experienced great success. Palworld is the second most played game on this platform, surpassing Counter-Strike 2. Also, Volvo's decision to enter the handheld console market helped this growth. Steam Deck is the console of choice for many players, which actually provides an easier way for console players than PC gaming.
In 2024, Volvo and its platform are still the leaders of the PC gaming market, and the growth of this market is beneficial for the company in question. According to SteamDB, out of these 34 million people, more than 11 million were playing games. With the likes of Elden Ring, Helldivers 2, Palworld and Baldur's Gate 3, PC gaming and Steam are going through one of their best times yet.
