Valve Confirms 120 Million Monthly Users For Steam In 2020

In a blog posting summing up the year for the Steam platform entitled Steam - 2020 Year in review, the company reflects on last year's statistics.

Predictably, Steam saw a huge rise in users over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic;
There were 120.4 million monthly active users and 62.6 million daily active users.
The article also described other statistics, such as 24.8 million peak concurrent users and 2.6 million first time purchasers per month. The number of games purchased has also increased by 21.4 percent since 2019.
This posting will mark the third, with there also being previous entries from 2018 and 2019.

      

The posting also denotes stats for Steam game festivals and Steam points, as well as for VR; VR game sales were up by 71 percent since last year, with Half-Life Alyx making up 39 percent of that figure. 

Valve ends the piece with a bullet-pointed list of the companies goals for 2021.
