[QUOTE="Admin, post: 54315, member: 1"] Over Thanksgiving weekend 2021, Steam broke a new record as it reached an all-time peak of 27,384,959 concurrent players using games on its service. [URL='https://steamdb.info/app/753/graphs/']SteamDB[/URL] revealed that this new record for concurrent players occurred on Sunday, November 28, and this peak is just [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-keeps-breaking-its-own-concurrent-players-record']one of the many times in 2021 that Steam has accomplished this feat.[/URL] As of this writing, [URL='https://steamdb.info/graph/']the top five most played games on Steam[/URL] are Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, New World, Halo Infinite, and Team Fortress 2. Halo Infinite surely contributed to the cause, as it is free-to-play and has been long-awaited by many around the world.

Steam's concurrent player record has been constantly on the rise for some time now, and its new 27 million milestone is 10 million more than the 17,155,417 it was in November 2019. Steam's impressive 2021 is obviously built on the games that live in its store, and they have also shared in the platform's success this year.
