Record: These 8 games had more than half a million concurrent players

It is often not that easy to find out how many players a certain title can actually attract day after day. A great help here is the Steam Charts page, which of course only works for Steam, but lists the current player numbers quite accurately. In the case of Apex Legends, the battle royale can be played on the console, for example, and on the PC also via EA’s own Origin launcher. However, we only have exact numbers for them Steam version availablebut these alone are probably enough to suggest that Apex Legends is still quite popular several years after its original release.

Apex Legends and seven other games with over 500,000 concurrent users

After the new season started at Apex Legends, the title was able to set a new player record of over 500,000 simultaneously active users on Steam. This makes Apex Legends the eighth title to enthrall half a million concurrent players, which is definitely quite an achievement.

Another representative of this list is PUBG, which also belongs to the Battle Royale genre. Recently released MMORPG Lost Ark and Amazon’s in-house developed MMO New World have also had similar player counts, as have Valve’s classic multiplayer titles DOTA 2 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. But not only multiplayer titles can reach such high numbers, as Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 proved by also attracting over 500,000 simultaneous players.
