I know my friends who haven't gotten in have been on CSGO lately for the first time in years so there might be something to that. CSGO has been on a strong upturn lately though.
Seems like someone might be streaming right now I'd assume either Summit or XQC pushing a lot of the people getting on.
This must be because valorant looks like shit version of csgo and overwatch but if both games were trash
Lets see if infinites multiplayer does some numbers on steam or if most pc gamers would rather gamepass it instead and having to deal with the windows store.

Yes, beta is limited.
And I don't think many players will totally abandon CSGO. Many will just play both games.
I doubt Halo, a very western world focused shooter, will pass 3.3M CC. That PUBG number is so massive because that game had a huge international player base.
This is really not a surprise. A lot of people discovering or re-discovering the CSGo forumla and giving the granddaddy a try. I expect there to be quite a bit of spill over between the two games over time as people go back and forth based on their mood that day.

Huh?
I mean, if you don't like her, why not watch somebody else?
Its all speculation of course but we dont know their multiplayer plans yet, I think it has big potential worldwide if marketed right, not saying it will surpass that pubg number though.
I've got this crazy theory that I'm lazy and clicked one of the earlier links.
When I was looking to get in, I played it safe and tuned into a 24 hour stream. I doubt Poki is 24 hours.
I got mine about 1.5 weeks in. I also didn't watch any streams for about 4 days now so it doesn't require you to be at it 24/7

It was a reply towards the user saying valorant was a shit version of CSGO and Overwatch.
Yes, I'm sure that's the only reason you're watching Poki and not any of the other hundred streamers with drops enabled.
COVID-19 and Valorant hype. On top of the fact that CSGO was already having a pretty consistent growth in players
As someone in this thread said, Valorant is further expanding the market. In a market filled with multiplayer games that are hot and supported for a year or two and then dropped, games like CSGO are showing that people want to invest in playing for the long term.
Look at this guy who thinks I'm internet illiterate and I'm washing myself for someone's who's among top nerd predators in the business.

Twitch stream numbers have never been an indicator for a game's success or popularity and never will be.
A friend of mine had a bunch Twitch bots running and sold 2 Valorant beta keys for $100+ each.
I definitely downloaded CS:GO and played for awhile before I got into Valorant, it was useful for someone like me who is not used to that style of shooting.
The last operation brought back a lot of people, but I think the pro scene also attributes to it's growth. The pro scene has never been this good
Also COVID-19, people are stuck at home. March avg players was 671k with a 1,145,972 peak which was a 23.36% gain over Februrary.
