Counter-Strike 2 Sets New Online Record on Steam — 1.82 Million Players

The shooter continues to gain popularity, breaking records for the number of simultaneous users on Steam. On the evening of March 15, 1.824 million gamers were playing CS2, which exceeded the previous maximum of 1.818 million recorded in May 2023.

The increase in audience was probably made possible by the increased ratings of CS2 and the ESL Pro League Season 2 competition, where the famous Team Spirit is participating.

Despite the new record, CS2 still ranks 4th in the history of the resource for maximum online, behind Palworld (2.1 million), Black Myth: Wukong (2.4 million) and the leader PUBG (3.2 million).
