Steam Concurrent Player Counts Skyrocket Into Record-Breaking Numbers, & These Three Games Could Be To Thank

The all-time concurrent player count on Steam was broken on December 8, as over 39 million players were consecutively logged into their accounts. The figures, which were determined by SteamDB, break the previous record set in September 2024 of 38 million.
The releases of three titles, in particular, have led to the colossal record on Valve's service, which was precisely 39,205,447 players at 09:20 Est. These three titles are Path of Exile 2, Marvel Rivals, and the advanced access Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The combination of these anticipated and hyped games helped propel the large number of players, along with some titles that consistently draw high player counts. The continuous growth of Steam as a platform suggests that it may be able to reach the massive achievement of 40 million concurrent players soon.
