Peak Online: 37,185,128
Date: 2026-05-19
A new record has been reached. And I feel like Saubnatica 2 and Forza Horizon 6 are partially responsible for this new peak. I don’t see anyone talking or posting about this new logged in users of Steam.
EDIT SECOND TIME: Today it just got a new record again!:
Peak Online: 39,532,653

I’ve been recently watching those graphs too, and it’s mind blowing how huge those numbers are.
I haven’t really done the math, but it seems like peak times are later day in Asian countries, so I do wonder if it’s the same releases that are driving the big numbers, ie Forza and Subnautica
What’s crazy is the numbers are basically double the pre-Covid numbers. Meaning half the players on Steam today weren’t there before 2020.
Also the peak record 3 days ago and today are reached at the same time on the clock, which is Germany local time 16:00, and a few hours around it in Europe in general. That is 10 AM in the US I think (we live 6 hours in the future). That means the numbers might even go up further at later day; just checking again https://store.steampowered.com/charts/ … oh yes, it is! Even my new Edit is outdated, lol. Can’t keep up.
