Thanks to the recent launch of massively multiplayer online games such as "Marvel Confrontation" and "Path of Exile 2", according to SteamDB data, the number of concurrent online users on Steam exceeded 39 million at 10:00 pm on December 8, Beijing time, reaching 39,025,447, of which 12,090,313 were currently playing the game, setting a new record.
Since 2024, Steam has been steadily breaking its own record for the number of simultaneous online users. At the beginning of the year, this number was only 33 million, but it reached 34 million in March, 37 million in August, and 38 million in September. It should be only a matter of time before it exceeds 40 million in the future.
