During the past year, Steam has seen an increase in active accounts by 5 million, bringing the total of active accounts to 25 million, a 25% increase from last year. Further, the number of concurrent users online peaked at just over 2.5 million during December. The average player minutes is now at 13 billion minutes a month. Unit sales have increased by 205%. Steam now offers over 1000 games from a selection of over 100 developers.
"With the introduction of each new platform feature released over the years — such as the Steam Community, Steam Cloud, and Steamworks — we've seen corresponding growth in account numbers, concurrent player numbers and developer support for the platform. As such, we plan to continue to expand and grow the platform to better serve the developers supporting the open platform and millions of gamers logging in each day."
-Gabe Newell, Valve Co-Founder and Managing Director
