CSGO was the most played game on Steam in October

PC gaming platform Steam has hardly seen the new games take the most played title in the last few years from Dota 2 and CSGO. That was until PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds came out. But before that Counter-Strike Global Offensive and Dota 2 were the two top prime candidates. But PUBG‘s popularity has declined as well but the good old CSGO and Dota 2 are still up there. And CSGO took the crown for October 2019 for being the most played game on Steam.

CSGO for the month of October had a player count of 747,937, edging out Dota 2 with 739,924. Both the games were head and shoulders above PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds with 637,870 concurrent players. One of the reasons for this is the Starladder Berlin Major that took place in early September. The other was that Valve released the reworked de_cache during this time as well. But these aren’t the highest number that the game has seen

The newest update to the game brought in a lot of changes and the patch notes can be found below.
