Counter-Strike: Global Offensive continues to grind incredible numbers in terms of online activities and players, with a new record of concurrent connected users recorded just in the last few hours, 11 years after the launch of the game, with 1,320,219 players connected.
The previous record of 1,308,963 players that was scored three years ago is therefore broken, but it is truly remarkable that the Valve game continues to record these numbers despite being released over 10 years ago. If we consider the initial version of Counter-Strike, we even have to go back to 1999, when the Half-Life mod became so popular that it turned into its own game.
After 23 years, Counter-Strike continues to dominate the Steam ranking in terms of connected users, counting on a huge community. Moreover, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive continues to be exclusively linked to the PC and in particular to the Steam environment, which makes these results even more impressive.
Difficult to think of a certain connection with events that may have led to an increase in players compared to usual, but it is probable that the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023 ESL Semifinals have dragged the results of this period, considering that they are always very popular on Twitch.
After All these years, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive continues to be a giant in the esports, as a first-person shooter dedicated to high-profile competitive multiplayer, as well as being free-to-play which makes it particularly popular.
