While many other popular multiplayer titles are struggling to retain their player counts amid the COVID 19 pandemic due to the declining esports scenes, CSGO has experienced a major boost in its player base over the past few months.
For the past two months, CSGO has witnessed over 1 million peak players concurrently tuning in to the game every single day. This, needless to say, is a remarkable achievement for any online multiplayer game.
For instance, as evident from the Steam charts, no other Steam game has been able to hit the mark of 1 million concurrent players over the past month.
The credit for this primarily goes to the release of the Operation Broken Fang in December 2020, which brought in a plethora of new and returning players to the competitive shooter. The Operation introduced a plethora of new content to CSGO, and the player base reciprocated the love by shattering records.
