Counter-Strike: GO is Steam’s most-played game

Counter-Strike: GO is officially the most-played game on the Steam service.

GO beat out Valve’s free-to-play titles, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2, and currently has a record-breaking statistic of 10.7 million gamers playing the title concurrently.

That’s a lot of people at once.

The previous record for most gamers concurrently playing a title on Steam was 10 million users, set back in June. The game? You guessed it: Counter-Strike: GO.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
