Number of concurrent Steam users passes 18 million, 30% more than a year ago

More than 7 million people in-game, which is also a new record.
More than 18 million people were logged into Steam at the same time
yesterday, and more than seven million of them were in-game—both new
records. Those are pretty abstract, albeit impressive, numbers, but if you
compare it to this time last year then you'll see the number of concurrent
Steam users has shot up by about 30%. That's a hell of a year for Valve.
Most of the growth happened in the second half of 2017, as you can see by the
graph below. In April Shaun was impressed about Steam pulling in 14 million
peak users a day. That seems like a long time ago. It reached 15 million in
September, 16 million in October, and 17 million in November. Yesterday it
peaked at just above 18.5 million, so that growth is showing no signs of
slowing down. At this rate, it should reach 20 million before April.
Having seven million of those players in-game is also mighty impressive, and
Valve can probably thank PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for that. PUBG reached
its all-time peak yesterday with 3.16 million players in-game, which means it
accounted for just under half of all in-game players. That's popularity for
you.

stats in more detail. How high do you think the numbers will go?

簡單來說...
steam同時在線人數突破了1800萬，比去年增長了30%。
其中有700萬玩家同時在玩遊戲。
而在這之中有316萬人是在玩PUBG，PUGB目前是steam上最多人在玩的遊戲。
目前看來，steam幾乎稱霸PC巿場。
