If you didn’t read our article on Steam’s massive user base<\/a> earlier this week, then let me give you a quick summary – it is huge.<\/p>\n

The online gaming platform from Valve has\u00a0125 million active accounts – which is more than the\u00a0population of places like Mexico, Egypt, Germany, and France.<\/p>\n

Taking this into account, it would be fair to say that a popular game on Steam is a popular game among the PC gaming community in general. Unless you are rocking a 486 and using emulators to play Pokemon Red.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here are the top 25 most popular games on Steam right now – courtesy of Steam’s stats page.<\/p>\n
