Over the weekend — which just so happened to coincide with [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/monster-hunter-wilds'][U]Monster Hunter Wilds[/U][/URL]' launch on Friday, February 28 — Steam logged 40,270,997 simultaneous players, breaking its previous record of 39.9 million players set in February 2025. In fact, according to [URL='https://steamdb.info/app/753/charts/']SteamDB[/URL], Steam's concurrent record, seen by some as a way of measuring the success of Valve's digital platform, has been broken almost every single month since May 2024, with the concurrent peak rising from 35.5 million users to 40.2 million in a little more than six months. And while that number includes idle players — that is, players with Steam open but not necessarily using it — the number of users actively in a game has hit a new record, too, jumping from 12.5 million to 12.8 million. Steam saw a surge in player peaks across most of 2024, breaking its record twice in [URL='https://in.ign.com/steam/203135/news/steam-sets-a-new-all-time-concurrent-players-record-with-346-million-users-gaming-at-the-same-time'][U]March[/U][/URL] and then again in [URL='https://in.ign.com/steam/209836/news/steam-breaks-its-all-time-player-peak-record-again-elden-ring-dlc-creates-new-records-and-more'][U]July[/U][/URL].
