Steam Officially Sets New Player Record

While the game console business has seen better days, Steam seems to keep booming. SteamDB shows that Valve’s digital storefront hit a new concurrent player record on Sunday, with more than 43.5 million users. Of those, over 14 million were in-game at the same time, which was also a record. This marks the second time the platform has surpassed its own peak this year, after previously hitting 42 million concurrents in January.
