Valve\u2019s Dota 2 has broken its own record for the most concurrent users on Steam at any given time.<\/p>\n

The fan-favourite game racked up a peak of 329,977 players on Saturday, 18 May 2013. During the weekend, the West Qualifier for the International tournament was also taking place, which would\u2019ve helped with the numbers.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty solid jump in statistics for Valve\u2019s game. Dota 2\u2019s original record was set in March, when the game managed to pull in 297,000 players.<\/p>\n

Dota 2 previously took the record from Skyrim, which attracted 287,411 at its peak.<\/p>\n
