2017 has been a bumper year for Steam. In September, it hit 15 million, in October 16 million, and yesterday, it smashed through the 17 million mark, reaching a high of 17,686,886 players logged on at once. It peaked at 6.9 million players in game, rather than just using the Steam client.
Presumably Black Friday has something to do with that, and you won't be surprised to hear that the meteoric rise of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was a big help. With nearly 3 million concurrent players yesterday, it made up a big chunk of the numbers. It won't be long until PUBG breaks through that 3 million mark for the first time.
