About This Dataset
Most Concurrent Players on Steam (All-Time Peak)PUBG: Battlegrounds still holds the Steam concurrency record at about 3.26 million simultaneous players, a peak set in January 2018 that has stood for years despite many major launches since. The 2024 hit Black Myth: Wukong and the survival game Palworld follow at 2.42 and 2.10 million, showing that recent releases can approach but not surpass the record. Counter-Strike 2 leads the perennial live-service group at 1.86 million, while Monster Hunter Wilds, Lost Ark and Dota 2 cluster near 1.3-1.4 million. That so many different genres appear near the top demonstrates how viral launches and long-running competitive titles can generate comparable peak audiences on the platform.
