We just broke the highest number of concurrent Steam users at 875,343!

An ongoing analysis of Steam's player numbers, seeing what's been played the most.

For context, Larian Studio founder Swen Vincke predicted that the game could reach 100,000 peak concurrent users during its debut period, and that was a fairly optimistic prediction. I work in IT, and really feel for those folks. I hope they designed their infrastructure to scale!

And that's only Steam, not including GOG, or the influx of PS5 users next month. Let's take it to 1 million!

  • As a Linux user I am all in on supporting Steam. They are the reason I was able to comfortably leave Windows. And I like their Big Picture Mode to browse my games and then I can use my controller and big TV to game.

    • Hell yes. Proton is huge, and Big Picture Mode is basically a console. I feel you on the controller support. With your encouragement, I finally connected a PS4 controller to my PC, and SEAMLESSLY explored a hostile area as a conjured cat. Amazing. (Still not giving up M+K, though....) Cheers!

      • LOL well Larian made sure we were both happy with K&M or controller.

        Did your conjured animal get attacked? My summoned quasit has invisibility.

        • No, my cat passed without going hostile, but it was a L4 Ogre, so, ya know. I even meowed at her; she responded, but did not attack.

          I haven't even tried my quasit yet!
