It important to note, that these numbers include players that just have a Steam game running in the background, not necessary playing it.
In 2012, Valve hit 5 million concurrent users. And passed 12 million concurrent users in January 2015.
It’s no coincidence that January is a time when Valve routinely hits user milestones—with just a few weeks after Christmas and its Winter Sale, more players are sure to have adopted the gaming service.
