PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds breaks Steam’s concurrent user record

If you’ve spent the past few years playing games based on the title with the highest concurrent user count on Steam… well, you have an awful metric for what you play. But you’re about to be playing a new game, too. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has officially dethroned Dota 2 from the service’s all-time highest concurrent user count, beating the previous record by around 50,000 players with 1,342,857 players on the game at the same time.

The last-man-standing shooter launched about six months ago and has seen wild success on Steam, having already become the single most-played game on the service (the highest number of accumulated hours for all players). So for those of you already enjoying the game, it’s a feather in the title’s metaphorical cap, and for those of you who base your play decisions entirely up popularity metrics… well, here you go.
