Steam set an unprecedented new record, all thanks to one thing

Steam users just came together to create a new record.

As some may not know, Steam was founded long before most online gaming platforms, as it was originally designed as a method of distributing games and updates by Valve in the early aughts. in 2000. Over time, the platform gradually transformed into one of the most popular options for gaming, despite increasing competition from the likes of Epic Games Store. And recently, Steam has just set a new record for itself.

According to statistics from SteamDB, Steam broke another concurrent player count record, this time nearly reaching 37 million active players (36,928,521) at the end of last June. Notably, in March this year, Steam also broke its own record twice. Even though Valve no longer publishes many of its own games, Steam continues to expand its reach to gamers around the world. It is no coincidence that this record was broken. We all have to thank the Summer Steam Sale event – which gives gamers the opportunity to own their favorite games at extremely affordable prices.

In addition, this summer also brings the appearance of countless notable blockbusters. Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 14 have both received major expansions in recent days, GTA Online has launched its Bounty Hunter update, and many games are entering new seasons. Not to mention, Valve’s determination to say no to bots and appeal against hacking in Team Fortress 2 has also contributed to doubling the number of players of this game in just a few days.

All in all, Steam is still proving its number one position for gamers at the present time. Don’t forget that Summer Steam Sale is still going on and is an opportunity for gamers to own their favorite games at very preferential prices.
