This new record continues Steam's streak of success in 2024, with notable milestones previously including:
- 8.12.2024: 39.2 million players
- 23.9.2024: 38.3 million players
- 26.8.2024: 37.2 million players
- 15.3.2024: 36.3 million players
- 2.3.2024: 34.2 million players
- 7.1.2024: 33.6 million players
This growth shows that Steam is holding up well against competition from other platforms like the Epic Games Store. While the Epic Games Store has also seen significant growth, with 295 million accounts and monthly active users, Steam is still a distant memory and cannot be replaced.
The record of 40 million online users is also a testament to the strong growth of the PC gaming market. The large number of players creates favorable conditions for game developers, promoting the birth of quality games.
Typically, the newly released game Monster Hunter Wilds has attracted 1.38 million concurrent players on Steam, showing the strong appeal and huge commercial potential of the PC game market at the present time.
