Steam Now Has 75 Million Active Users

Steam has been growing for many years, and—with the looming launch of the Steam Machines—the popular video game downloading service has reached a milestone; the site now has 75 Million active users.

In addition, Andrea Castellano of Gameranx reported that Steam’s growth in the past three months has been at the figure of 10 Million—a 15% growth in user activity.

The reason for this growth—as reported by Liam Martin of Digital Spy—is largely due to the annual winter festivities, when Steam had many enticing holiday bargains.

With the downloading of games growing in popularity, Steam has become a serious contender in the modern gaming industry.
