Steam platform attendance record
After over 26 million concurrent users in February last year, thanks in part to the holidays in China, 27,384,959 players have been concurrently connected to Steam in recent weeks. This new all-time high concurrent user connection is mainly driven by traffic from the US (18.4%) and China (19%). Note that 7.8 million players at the time were playing competitive free-to-play games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (915,791 players), Dota 2 (677,744 players) and PUBG: Battlegrounds (34,4841 players), which remains below the record 8.1 million from March 2020. The Halo Infinite installment drew a respectable 146,212 players, but many of them were cheaters, prompting Xbox fans to ask for the option to drop crossplay.
