The Steam platform continues to set records for the number of simultaneous users for the third week in a row. With the beginning of spring, user activity increases every weekend, and this made it possible to set a new record.
- March 2 – 34,298,950 concurrent users
- March 10 – 35,385,530 concurrent users
- March 18 – 36,354,393 concurrent users
It is possible that the record number of simultaneous players is partly caused by the Steam Spring Sale. Players bought their desired games with discounts and started actively playing them.
