In December of last year we reported on the fact that Steam, the digital distribution platform by Valve, had broken 7 million concurrent users.

Now, we’ve learned that the wildly popular gaming portal has broken 8 million concurrent users in the span of roughly half a year, a staggering development for sure.

It kind of makes sense that we saw the concurrency surge so high, as yesterday was the final day of Valve’s also wildly popular Steam sale.
