Since its launch back in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has had a tremendous life, breaking all sorts of records and currently nipping at the heels of the PS2 for best-selling console of all time. Ahead of the launch of its successor, the Switch has achieved yet another record.

With a total of 21 games on the Switch currently having sold over 10 million copies, Nintendo’s console has managed to eke in another record ahead of the launch of its successor.

It was already well known that the Switch was one of the most successful consoles of all time software-wise, having sold more than 1.35 billion games, but even so this latest achievement is notable.

Of course, it is worth clarifying that game publishers do not always necessarily release sales figures for their games, and so this could be somewhat inaccurate. That said, given the fact that a title selling 10 million copies would certainly be worth bragging about, it is unlikely that there are any 10+ million sellers missing from the list.

Furthermore, having nearly two dozen 10 million sellers doesn’t quite tell the full picture, as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe alone has sold 67 million copies – with Animal Crossing: New Horizons closing in on 50 million.

Regardless, it’s safe to say that the Switch 2 has a great deal to live up to when it finally releases at some point (hopefully) this year. The full list of Switch games to surpass 10 million copies sold can be found HERE.

On the 4th of March 2024, the Steam platform reached a new record with over 34 million peak concurrent users. Over the months, this record has slowly crept up – and now almost exactly one year on, Steam has reached the milestone of 40 million concurrent users.

As mentioned, back in March of last year, Steam had its peak player count rise to 34 million for the first time. Then, just weeks later, the platform saw a spike with 36 million players online.

It would take a bit of time to beat this figure, however in late August Steam once again surpassed itself with 37 million concurrents. Finally, back in December, the platform reached new heights with 39 million concurrent users.

Be it due to the continued growth of the service over time, or the current influx of millions of Monster Hunter Wilds players, Steam has now reached the massive milestone of 40 million concurrent online users – 40,270,997 to be exact.

Of course, not all 40 million are actively playing a game at any one time, but the achievement is notable nonetheless.

With Valve breaking this latest barrier, it will be interesting to see how long it will take until Steam inevitably reaches 50 million concurrent players. It could be sooner than expected.
