Steam's dominance as a gaming platform shows no sign of faltering, does it? In early January, it set a new concurrent user record, which is about as strong a start to a new year as you can hope for, and since then it's smashed it again with a peak of 42 million players. Sure, Valve has some headaches to contend with in 2026 too - component price rises and shortages are clearly having an effect on its lineup of new hardware, and it's got a few lawsuits floating around as well. However, it's still the go-to destination for most PC gamers. In a talk at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Valve has now shared some interesting data behind how many games are finding success on Steam.
