In the past 2021, Steam set an impressive record of more than 27 million people online at the same time in November, and in 2022, just 3 days ago, Steam's online number continued to climb, and it will soon set a record again, breaking the 28 million mark.
According to Steam statistics, the number of people peaked at 10:51 p.m. on January 2, 2022, and 27942458 players were online at the same time. Of course, the number of online games is still the majority, and the top five at the peak are "CS:GO", "Dota2", "PUBG", "Apex", "Three Men and One Dog V". Among them, the number of online users of "The Witcher 3" as a single-player game stood out from many online games, and even surpassed "Destiny 2", reaching 78592 people.
It's New Year's Day and the weekend, and it's normal for people to explode, but Steam players are growing so fast that it seems to break that record every few months.
