It's pretty old news Stig, the'y achieved that in 2015, when concurrent player peak was 18000+. Just google it and read the paper or watch the GDC conference.
It's time for a steamcharts thread!

Right so you are saying that after four years its still going really strong.
Nope I didn't say that either. But I guess it's going pretty strong for what it is. Not dinosaur strong though.
Good news about Jurassic park evolution as well ?. Things are looking up.
Depends. There is no up in space. You can pitch it how you want, or just keep on rollin.
You are talking about the December peak? In that case you officially missed the point. The thread is about average concurrent players.
That's completely unrelated to the topic.
The Monthly Average Players record (not Peak Concurrent) keeps on rising:
It's definitely the best 30ish day period for Elite Dangerous on Steam ever and by a considerable margin. Excellent news for a game that was released 4 years ago, and bad news for the doom-mongers awaiting Elite's death, but hey: swings and roundabouts.
And with the hype amongst the community for Distant Worlds 2, I can see the record being further broken tomorrow and through to Monday morning.
Massive congrats to the devteam continuing to work on and improve the game! o7

Nowhere to go but up. I cant wait to see whats next.
Those numbers aren't that great. There are more people playing the million year old Skyrim right now than the newly-updated Elite Dangerous.
Skyrim is a great game from the fantastic Elder Scrolls series, with 30m copies sold (by Nov 2016) - congrats to Bethesda too!
Steam pressures rising, Captain! I cannae keep the lid on her. She's going to blow any time soon !
Well yeah, we just got Q4, what did you expect?
Compared to what? Go on you're almost there.
No, you simply fail to understand even my most simple posts. It's a waste of time to go on unless you are willing to realise that you got something wrong. If not, you'll just keep misinterpreting everything I say. So far, not a single thing you said was related to my posts. You just keep quoting me, missing the topic, confusing December highest concurrent peak with average concurrent players and so on. There is little point in explaining you anything as long as you are unwilling to listen.

Aw come on. I post about steam charts and how silly they are. You use the terms concurrent and peak rather poorly. At this point, it's just about you not able to explain what you compare the average from the last 30 days to here.
You got it!
You got it.
It's really not that difficult to understand, but it probably doesn't help that English is not my first language. I am comparing the average concurrent players of the last 30 days to any other month since the game was released, and so far it looks like that number has never been higher. You are of course right that January is not over yet and it might be that everyone stops playing tomorrow. In that case the current average concurrent player record would probably drop below the 7046 from January 2018. I already told you that I know and understand that. However, I believe this will not happen, since the concurrent average player number increased over the last two weeks of January, so it isn't just based on good player numbers from December (which is still part of the last 30 days). It's likely that the numbers will slightly go down over the remaining January weeks, but probably not enough to go below 7046 for January 2019 in total.
Is that silly enough?

I'm feeling a bit contrarian today, but I believe my logic is sound.
First, those are not great numbers, not for a game with supposedly 100+ employees working on it. And if ED is a 4 year old game, then Horizon Zero Dawn was a seven year old game the day it released. In other words, ED is not a finished game in the traditional sense. I'm beginning to wonder if the "play it while we build it" model was a good idea or not...
Second, the only numbers that determine if the game will be successful or doomed are sales - both game sales and cosmetic sales. While I suspect some of your steam numbers are new players (Merry Christmas!), most are probably people like myself who had shelved the game and picked it back up again when 3.3 dropped. However, I have not bought a cosmetic since Black Friday, and it is very unlikely I'll be spending any more money on the game, ever, unless some serious fixes are implemented (something Frontier is very bad at).
I'm not saying it's doomed, but I'm not opening a bottle of champagne either.
