Valve has just revealed that their digital download service Steam has reached another milestone; as the service now has 35 million active customers.
The service has grown from last year’s reported 30 million active users relatively quickly, with an impressive jump of 5 million active users. Valve had this to say on the topic of Steam:
Steam is our direct pipeline to customers. It began as a little sleeper project—a handy tool to update Counter-Strike—and morphed pretty quickly into the world’s largest online gaming platform. Steam guarantees instant access to more than 1,800 game titles and connects its 35 million active users to each other—and to us. Through Steam, fans can easily buy, play, share, modify, and build communities around Valve products as well as titles from other independent game studios. Steam is available in 237 countries and 21 different languages.
