The Games Everyone Plays

Occasionally, you might find yourself at a loss for what game to pick when you finally have some spare time on your computer, gazing at your Steam library without knowing where to start. However, if you’re looking for a multiplayer game with a large and active community, these titles consistently keep players engaged month after month!

Keep in mind that the player counts for these games tend to shift quite often, so a chart you look at one moment may present vastly different results just a few minutes later. However, we can still pay attention to approximate numbers which offer some insight into what games people worldwide are frequently playing, as the most popular Steam games typically remain relatively stable:

  • Counter-Strike 2 – 1.4 Million
