First-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive topped the 2023 list for peak number of concurrent players on the online gaming platform Steam with 1.8 million peak concurrent players. The game's successor Counter-Strike 2, which was released in September 2023, was ranked second. The first-person shooter video game has continuously ranked among the most popular games on Steam since it's release in August 2012.
While PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds reigns supreme in the Steam universe, it has stiff competition in the form of its battle royale brother, Fortnite.

Having scooped the award for Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards 2018, it seems that Epic Games’ smash hit shows no signs of slowing down. But with new players, such as Apex Legends, constantly entering the game, will Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds be able to hold on to their loyal fan bases?
