Steam, Valve’s hugely-popular digital gaming service, has reached 75 million active users.

Note the ‘active’ part of that sentence, meaning users that are still currently buying and playing games on Steam. We don’t have a figure for users total but no doubt it’s much larger.

As Eurogamer notes, this is a rise of 15 percent since October, in which the company announced 65 million users. Will the upcoming release of the Steam machines help the company push this figure closer to the 100 million landmark in 2014?
