The record which was previously held by Grand Theft Auto V for the most concurrent players had 360,000 players playing the game simultaneously. GTA V broken the record of another Bethesda title Skyrim which when released in 2011 drew attention of 280,000 users.
These numbers are for the games which are not developed by Valve, the company which manages Steam. Two games that have amassed huge numbers repetitively are Valve’s two most popular games, Counter-Strike Global Offensive and Dota 2, 820,000 and 1.26 million concurrent players respectively. These numbers are majorly due to the multiplayer elements.
