Valve Reveals Steam's Impressive Monthly User Count
During a gaming conference that took place earlier in the week in Seattle called Casual Connect, Valve boasted some pretty impressive numbers related to Steam. Tens of millions of players flock to the platform each month to play their PC games, the actual stat coming in at 67 million monthly users, according to the information that was presented at the conference. Around half of those users, 33 million, even play games through Steam every single day.
Aside from the large total number of players that'll take part in Steam games each day, the amount of people that are playing games at the same time is also quite sizable as well. Back in 2015, Steam had around 8.4 million concurrent users taking part in the PC gaming, but at the most recent conference, Valve said that that number has skyrocketed to 14 million concurrent numbers as of now. That's an impressive period of growth over the course of two years, and according to one of the speakers for Valve at the conference, more new users are coming in all the time.
“There are lots of users coming into Steam every day,” said Tom Giardino who works for Valve and spoke during Casual Connect.
So what types of games are bringing so many players to Steam each day? Some of them are games that can only be found on the PC, plenty of them are smaller indie games, and some of them aren't even in their finished version yet. All of this adds up to create the biggest gaming service in the PC market that really doesn't have any kind of competition anywhere near it in the market.
Just recently, it was reported that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was bringing in a ton of players in its Early Access stages, hosting a whopping 500,000 concurrent players. Dota 2, Valve's biggest competitor to League of Legends, tops the charts as the most-played game, an undeniable contributor to the huge numbers that Valve can now stick their name on.
