Steam has once again broken its own concurrent user record as a whopping 33,675,229 of us were on the digital storefront at the same time this weekend.
This weekend’s most-played chart toppers include the two usual suspects: Counter-Strike 2 at first place, with a 24-hour peak of 1.2 million concurrent players, and Dota 2 in second place, with over 730,000 players logging in today.
Two other big performers include PUBG: Battlegrounds with over half a million players jumping in at its peak this weekend, followed by Baldur’s Gate 3 with almost 300,000 concurrent players, a game that’s had remarkable staying power since itsrecord-smashing debutlast year.
The rest of the top ten is rounded out by indie horror Lethal Company, evergreen hero shooter Team Fortress 2, crime epic GTA V, multiplayer survival mainstay Rust, and Call of Duty - all of which passed at least 140,000 concurrent players this weekend.
