As the numbers climb, the competition among games remains fierce. Currently, the most played title is Counter-Strike 2, followed closely by PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and DOTA 2. Notably, Black Myth: Wukong continues to impress, holding strong in fourth place despite a slight drop. This is particularly noteworthy as it is not a multiplayer game, showcasing its broad appeal.
In fifth place, we find the quirky free-to-play game Banana, where players click on a banana to collect more bananas. Its simplicity has resonated well with users, reflected in its Mostly Positive reviews and a growing player base.
Following Banana, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT sits in sixth place, with Apex Legends, Satisfactory, and GTA 5 rounding out the top ten. The enduring popularity of GTA V is particularly striking, raising questions about the anticipated release of GTA 6 for PC.
Interestingly, Valve’s upcoming title Deadlock has managed to secure the eleventh position, despite not yet being officially revealed. With over 150,000 players in the last 24 hours, expectations are high for its eventual launch.
Another title making waves is Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, which has outperformed established titles like Call of Duty, Elden Ring, and Team Fortress 2.
Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 has seen a decline, falling to 26th place, while Elden Ring and Team Fortress 2 occupy the 21st and 24th spots, respectively. The shifting dynamics within the gaming landscape continue to captivate players and industry observers alike.
As Steam approaches the next milestone of 39 million concurrent players, the gaming community eagerly anticipates what lies ahead in this ever-evolving digital playground.
