Steam sets new record for concurrent users on the platform, reaching 40 million accounts
Valve's digital platform Steam continues to post impressive growth numbers, becoming a rare bright spot in the gloomy global gaming market landscape.
Black Myth: Wukong has broken records time and time again, quickly entering the list of best-selling games on Steam and becoming the single-player game with the highest number of players in history on this platform.
The previous record was held by Cyberpunk 2077, which peaked at 1,054,388 players in 2020, but now Black Myth: Wukong has surpassed that number in just a few hours.
After being announced back in 2020 and gaining a lot of attention, Black Myth: Wukong finally officially launched on August 20 on PlayStation 5 and PC.
While players were excited to see the new action RPG coming to Xbox consoles, developer Game Science disappointed fans by announcing just two months before launch that Black Myth: Wukong would be delayed on Xbox Series X/S. There's no specific release date for the Xbox version yet, but Game Science said the delay was due to the game not meeting the studio's standards for Microsoft 's console .
With a slew of mostly positive reviews, it’s no surprise that Black Myth: Wukong has already broken records on Steam. In less than 24 hours since its launch on the platform, Black Myth: Wukong has become one of the most played games on Steam, peaking at over 2 million concurrent players, according to SteamDB. In terms of current player count, Black Myth: Wukong is currently number one, surpassing Valve’s big names like Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2.
While some games like Palworld have seen a larger player count than Black Myth: Wukong, in a more nuanced comparison, Palworld is a multiplayer game, while Black Myth Wukong is a singleplayer game. While it may not be able to surpass PUBG’s 3 million players, Black Myth Wukong has set a record for the fastest player count for a single-player game in a short period of time, a record previously held by Cyberpunk 2077 .
That’s not even counting the number of players on PS5, but if the number is similar or even half that, it’s clear that Game Science has a new phenomenon on its hands. While there are still some strange and controversial restrictions for streamers, we still have to admit that Black Myth Wukong is still shaping up to be one of the games that will take the game by storm in 2024.
