Valve's Steam service for PC distribution and sales has over 65 million users playing its over 3,000 games, the company announced this afternoon. That's a 30 percent increase (15 million accounts) over the last 12 months -- not too shabby! -- putting the service's userbase well above that of Microsoft's Xbox Live (which has 48 million, according to MS). Not quite the 110 million that belong to Sony's PlayStation Network, but not too shabby.
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
Valve is reportedly updating its Steam platform to include a native 30-day price history feature on game store pages.
Put your trusty eyeballs to work during Steam Hidden Object Fest 2026. Grab huge discounts and free demos starting April 9 for your library.
Good job Valve and congrats on the 65 Million figure.
What i find spectacular this is all on a single platform. Plus it doesnt reset like in the case of the consoles. Where PS4 and XBone will need to make a user base from zero.
Steam numbers keep growing, PC probably will be a strong contender next gen. Specially since Sony and MS are now so much behind Steam with their new consoles.
I personally have 3 friends who went PC gaming with Steam this gen and ended up purchasing many games. All of us will be buying the next gen consoles, however this will be once the consoles actually have good exclusives. For multiplat games we shall be sticking with the PC.
Steam and Sony - Knowing what the gamer wants ever since the 90's/Y2K!
PS3 80 million sold
x360 80 million sold
wii 100 million sold
PSP 80 million sold
DS 150 million sold
so every console has more users than steam. interesting
Thats awesome to hear
No Way. PC Gaming is dying right? After all a lot of console gamers are claiming Rockstar wont bring GTA V to PC because there isn't enough PC gamers or they blame Piracy (As if piracy isn't ripe on consoles too)
(Dont get your panties in a twist. I was kidding)
