Steam Now has more than 100 Million Active Accounts

Steam Now has more than 100 Million Active Accounts

Valve announced that there are over 100 million active Steam accounts. That's like approaching the population of Mexico right? The press release announcing today's store update also notes that 1,300 new games have been released on Steam in the past nine months for a total of "over 3,700 titles." It's pretty crazy that such a big percentage of Steam's library was released in less than a year. 

The gates are open, and the new features introduced today are meant to better connect those 100 million users with Steam's rapidly growing library.

Valve today launched the Steam Discovery Update, which introduces new functionality and features designed to optimize the Steam shopping experience as the number of new titles on Steam increases.

In the past nine months, Steam has added over 1,300 new titles and grown to over 100 million active accounts. Designed to meet the demands of this growth, the Steam Discovery Update delivers a smarter Home page, offering recommendations based on past purchases, recent playtime, and recommendations by friends.

Steam Search has also been updated with extremely detailed filters. And a new feature called Curators allows anyone to become a taste maker and build a following.

"We have made great efforts to increase the number of titles we can publish on Steam, which means more choices for customers," said Alden Kroll of Valve. "This update introduces multiple features and functionality to help customers explore Steam’s growing catalog and find the games they are most interested in playing."

Steam is a leading online platform for PC, Mac, and Linux software, games and digital entertainment with over 3,700 titles and 100 million active accounts. It is the product of Valve, creators of game technologies (Source, Steam) and numerous best-selling game franchises (Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Half-Life, Portal, and Team Fortress).

Out of those 100 Million active users, I wonder how many are smurf accounts?

I'm one of them. Mostly because of the Half-Life franchise.

Lots of account details all ripe for plucking by some youthful hacker, no doubt.
100 million accounts is the kind of figure bound to cause some troublemaker to drool profusely. ;)
