What do you get when you add a great big Christmas holiday of PC Gamers to a winter sale? Twelve million users at the service at one time!.
Twelve million has become Steam’s peak concurrent user record, less than a year after it first passed nine million.
It broke the record around 4:42 PM GMT on January 3—presumably as working folk scrambled to enjoy our last day off—and peaked at 12,332,000.
For all that Steam has come into the firing line for its shoddy customer service and lack of quality control, the numbers say Valve still providing an indispensable service.
