Fallout 4 Beats Steam Concurrent User Number Set By Skyrim

Correction: We’re sorry, but we had the wrong stats in our earlier report. GTA 5 actually managed just over 300,000 concurrent users at launch on Steam, which is more than Fallout 4 managed. Skyrim managed 280,000 at launch.

Original report:Fallout 4 launched overnight and as expected proved to be hugely popular on Steam, setting a new concurrent user record for a non-Valve title.

Bethesda’s open-world RPG hit a peak user number of 290,461, which is almost 100,000 more users than GTA 5 managed at launch when it reached 196,700.

Fallout 4 is now the record holder for most concurrent users for a non-Valve title. Both Dota 2 and Counter-Strike Global Offensive regularly see concurrent user numbers of over half a million.

Fallout 4 is out now for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
