Steam achieves a staggering new record of over 40 million active users

Steam has officially hit a new all-time active user peak, as over 40 million people are using Valve's storefront at once. The home of Counter-Strike and Team Fortress has long been the premier place to buy, download, and play games on PC, and this new milestone once again proves it. With the recent launch of Monster Hunter Wilds effortlessly cresting well over one million concurrent players, it's clear that Valve's platform isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
