Well, it appears that PC gamers are growing exponentially, according to the latest numbers published by Valve.

Valve has announced today that it currently has over 125 active Steam users all across the world and that the Steam client features 4,500 games and around 400 million user-generated content pieces.

Steam considers active accounts those of members who logged in over the course of the last month, which paints an even more impressive picture.

The Steam Community is ever growing, but nobody expected it to be growing this fast. Valve has also reported a new peak of concurrent users this month, with over 8.9 million accounts logged in at the same time, a significant increase over the previous record of 8.4 million registered in January.

In January 2014, Valve announced having 75 million accounts on Steam, a number which rose to 100 million by September.

This means that the worldwide digital publishing platform managed to expand its user base by 66 percent over the course of one year, and by the looks of it, its expansion is accelerating.

Furthermore, Valve has mentioned that the upcoming GDC 2015 will mark the 13th anniversary of the first public announcement of Steam, and that it has a couple of exciting reveals to make, including the final form factor of the Steam Controller and a virtual reality headset.
