CS:GO player count leaps back to mid-pandemic numbers as 2023 hype grows
CS:GO was released in 2012 and its player count is still climbing. The tactical FPS’ concurrent player count dropped after the pandemic as gamers ventured back into the wilderness, but the game is making its way back to those record numbers.
According to SteamCharts, Jan. 2023 has been a massive month for the Valve title. It hit a peak of 1,199,684 concurrent players within a 24-hour period this month. That is still roughly 100,000 shy of the April 2020 record, but it’s still an impressive feat.
