It’s almost a normal situation now: the COVID-19 pandemic has become an “impressive” springboard for Valve, with the Steam community growing at full speed.

On January 2nd, Steam had reached 25.4 million simultaneous users, which was already a record. This will have taken a little more than a month until this weekend or similar 26,401,586 people were connected at the same time. That’s almost 1 million more people at the same time. While that doesn’t mean everyone played, it’s still impressive.
2021 even stronger?
Proof that the PC game has a very bright future ahead of it and that more and more people are turning to this medium. Let us also not forget that countries with very large population groups such as China have a majority share in the PC and this represents an increasingly growing market for the players in the sector.
The beginning of this decade is a record for Valve and the aggressive reductions during the various sales are certainly for something too.
