The Half-Life 2 community came together today to set the game’s highest concurrent player count since records began.
The community wasn’t exactly sure what Half-Life 2’s concurrent peak was prior to today.
In mid-July, Valve game YouTubers joined up to issue players the “Breaking the Bar” challenge: beat Half-Life 2’s concurrents record by playing the game at 4pm today, 14th August.
In truth, only Valve knows Half-Life 2’s true all-time peak concurrent player count.
