4.6
The number of active users on Steam has reached a new record of 125 million.

Valve announced today that are over 125 active Steam users worldwide. The Steam client now has 4500 games and 400 million pieces of user-generated content. Valve did not specify what it considers “active users,” though the number is impressive nonetheless.

The company said that GDC 2015 mark the 13th anniversary of the first public announcement of Steam.

In related news, the number of concurrent users on Steam has reached a new high, with over 8.9 earlier this month. This marks a small increase over January concurrent users numbers of 8.4.

Steam is available on PC for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Valve announced earlier today that it will bring its VR headset and the final Steam Controller design to GDC 2015.

Nationalism Ever since I got my gaming PC and I haven't played console the same way.

PC gaming is so much more fun, and better in all aspects. If you have the money to buy a gaming PC then you definitely should!


I agree, the experience totally different. But one thing is that people on pc are good at games usually. The FPS games you can actually aim and get headshots without much trouble. And not everyone has mics on so you don't hear a kinect or a little kid whining..
