Steam has hit a new all-time record with over 41 million CCUs
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/steam-has-hit-a-new-all-time-record-with-over-41-million-ccus
A couple of days ago, Steam hit a new all-time record with over 41 million concurrent users. This comes seven months after the previous record of 41 million concurrent users.
A lot of people may assume that this was due to the Steam Next Fest event. However, I believe that BF6 was mainly the game that pushed Steam to hit this new record.
