Valve's Steam Hits 5 Million Concurrent Users
- AndrewDucker 15y agoI would love to know what comparative figures look like for the 360 and PS3.
- latch 15y agosomewhat related...quick googling suggests that SWTOR hit 350000 concurrent online players and that the chinese company responsible for WoW once hit 1 million.
- macca321 15y agoThe Chinese company responsible for WOW? Who's that then?
- dagw 15y agoNetEase. They are responsible for all things WoW in China and run the infrastructure for all of Blizzards online games there
- cunac 15y agoyeah and LoL has 1.3 mil concurrent players http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/community-grows-32-million-players http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/community-grows-32-millio...
- jdk 15y agoThough isn't that just people signed on to Steam at any given moment, not the number actually playing games? I have 3 computers that are generally signed on to Steam all throughout the day, none of which are playing anything.
- citricsquid 15y agoYeah, this is people just logged in to the service (unique accounts online). At the time of this comment there are 3,066,704 logged in and just under 300,000 playing.
- popisdead 15y agoyeah i thinks it's normal a 10%, but still awesome numbers.
- freehunter 15y agoDo you have three Steam accounts, or how do you sign into multiple computers with one account?
- alimbada 15y agoYou can't sign into the Steam client on multiple machines. If you try to sign in at another location, you'll be signed off wherever you are currently logged in. Maybe he means he's signed into the Steam website on three machines...?
- freehunter 15y agoYeah, I tried this at home when Skyrim came out. I wanted it on both my desktop and laptop, but found that downloading Skyrim to my laptop booted me from Steam on my desktop. Was curious for a trick the parent had for being logged in at multiple places.
- Casc 15y agoI think if they pull off CS:GO correctly it could bring quite a substantial portion of retired CS 1.6 players back online... boosting that number a bit.
