Steam breaks a new record

Millions of gamers are playing on Steam at the same time. SteamDB, which displays this data in real-time, revealed that the platform broke a user record on October 12, 2025.

The fact that Battlefield 6 was played by a large number of people and that the Steam Next Fest event coincided with this increase in the number of concurrent players, which reached 41 million 666 thousand 455 people, was an important factor.

Although this record was broken, the number of simultaneous players dropped to 40 million after a while.
