Update:
Valve has just confirmed the 75 million active user claim via an official press release. Overall, the Steam user base has expanded by a total of 15% in the final three months of 2013, with Valve citing the Autumn and Holiday sales as vital factors to the growth. So, no surprise there.
As shown in the pie chart below, the Steam publishing team provided information on Steam's holiday sales revenue, with North America (41%) and Europe (40%) accounting for the majority of sales. Again, no surprise there. What is surprising, however, is the rapid growth of the Russian and Brazilian territories, which have expanded by 128% and 75% over the past year, respectively.
The pie chart Valve released, showing sales figures by regions in 2013.
Additionally, Valve has announced that recordings of all the talks at SteamDevDays will be available in the coming weeks, so we'll be sure to post the videos here on our front page when they are released.
Original Post:
Steam has recently surpassed 75 million active users, according to a tweet by Dave Oshry, who is currently attending the SteamDevDays conference in Seattle. The figure, which was reportedly announced during the opening presentation of the conference, means Steam has grown substantially since October 30th 2013, when Valve announced the service had surpassed 65 million total active users, far ahead of the 48 million held by Xbox Live.
While we currently still lack an official announcement directly from Valve, this new figure takes Steam even closer to beating the 110 million total users currently boasted by the Playstation Network, although these are not necessarily all active accounts. We'll keep you up to date if we learn more about the seemingly unstoppable Steam train.
