A report was shared by ResetEra Rankings of video game stores with the highest number of active players per month. Mobile online stores (such as the App Store and Google Play) are not included, and sites like Riot Launcher are not included.
As mentioned, Steam This is the most used store / video game operating system, we can add without many surprises. We are talking about 132 million active users per month. The data comes from a recently released official Valve report.
In the second stage we see PlayStation Store / Network. Sony Interactive Entertainment’s platform can count on 111-114 million monthly active users, according to December 2021 data included in the company’s official documents.
For the third place, unfortunately, the data is less accurate. Xbox LiveIn fact, it could count 100 million active users per month as of December 2020. Unfortunately, the latest data are not available. Follow, we find Epic Games StoreIt reached 65 million monthly active users (as of December 2021), according to an official report.
Finally, it needs to be checked Nintendo. Unfortunately, no official data is available in this case. As of September 2020, we only know that the number of Nintendo Switch online subscribers is 26 million. However, these are only a fraction of the real users. In any case, it is not possible to calculate the number of monthly active users from this number.
This data is reminiscent of the United Kingdom, where Steam is the preferred store for online purchases, followed by the PlayStation Store in second place.
