2022 is turning out to be a great year for CSGO fans as the shooter registers the highest number of players in eleven months, only months after the title saw its highest player growth in almost two years.
According to data from Steam Charts, CSGO has registered over 1,000,000 peak players in the month of April 2022. The last time the title witnessed over a million peak players was back in May 2021, when the competitive shooter saw a whopping 1,087,197 players tuning into the game simultaneously.
Currently, CSGO stands proud at the top of the Steam Charts in terms of player base, and boasts an average player count of about 600,000 while its peak player count lies towards north of the 1 million mark.
However, the average player gains of the title seems to have taken a slight hit when compared to the past few months.
The news comes only weeks ahead of the upcoming PGL Major Antwerp 2022. The upcoming Major that’ll take place in Antwerp, Belgium is almost certain to draw in more players from throughout the world, and boost the title’s player count even further.
The PGL Antwerp Major 2022 kicks off on 9th May and will continue until 22nd May. CSGO fans will be keeping their fingers crossed for the growth of CSGO to continue over the next several months.
