Steam Had 69 Million Daily Users in 2021
In 2021, Steam had 69 million daily users.
Under 38 billion hours were spent by the players in 2021 on Steam.
Which was an increase of 21% over 2020.
They provided 33 exabytes of content to Steam users.
It’s pretty hard to grasp a number that big, but just for fun: 33 exabytes is about how much data you’d use if the 330 million people in the United States all downloaded a 100GB game.
2.6 million players made their first purchase each month in 2021.
VR users also grew by 11%.
Only 10% of daily pay sessions are played on controllers.
The group has seen a 300% growth in sales from non-Chinese markets in the past year alone.
Shared gameplay now makes up 34% of all remote play sessions.
Steam is now bigger than ever.
There are no bad years to be a PC gamer, but 2021 was an especially good one. From Days Gone to Forza Horizon 5, players on PC got to enjoy an incredible lineup from some of the best first-party console studios on the planet.
That explosion of fresh content is a testament to the open, competitive nature of the PC ecosystem, where players have the broadest choice of what hardware to play on, what stores and services to use, and which games to play, they said.
