Counter-Strike: Global offensive has broken Steam concurrent player records for the second time in several months.
All weekend Counter-Strike Global Offensive – An eight-year-old game – Set a new concurrent player record on Steam.
According to the Steam leaderboard, 924,045 players participated in the game at the same time. Since then, that number has risen slightly to 925,990 players.
Just last month, CS: GO attracted more than 876,575 concurrent players, a new record for the game at the time. Prior to that, the most recent record was set in April 2016. CS: GO is of course a popular free game, so it is not new to rank high on the Steam list.
However, it is impressive that this game has continued to reach new heights for many years after its release. It is unclear what caused this sudden epidemic, but it may be related to coronavirus. The epidemic has forced many people, especially in China, to stay home, which inevitably means spending more time playing video games.
