Steam Breaks Records; Nearly 25M Players Used the App

Steam has broken its March record. There were almost 25 million players in the app today, more than 7 million of whom played something. Cyberpunk 2077 certainly added its two cents to this result.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. December 13 was another record-breaking day for Steam.
  2. Almost 25 million people had the application launched at peak activity.

Steam beat its March record for the number of logged-in players. On Sunday afternoon, the number reached almost 25 million people (24,804,148 to be exact), of which more than 7 million had a game launched.

As the pandemic began this year, the activity of users on Steam went through the roof, beating 20 million active users on the app and 6.2 million people in the game. Today, this result was broken by a large margin.

There may be several reasons for this - the winter season combined with recurring lockdowns in many countries. Add to that the release of Cyberpunk 2077, played by more than one million people at the same time, almost overtaking Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
