The big number above is how many people are playing Dota 2 right now. We read Steam every 10 minutes and keep each reading, so the chart and the daily peaks table get longer every day.
Dota 2 is Valve's free-to-play MOBA, the sequel to the Defense of the Ancients mod. It was released through Steam in July 2013 for Windows, macOS and Linux, and it runs through Steam, with no console version. That means the Steam count is close to the whole player base, which is rare among big games.
Like CS2, Dota 2 has players spread across Europe, Asia and South America, so the count rises and falls a lot over a day. The 24-hour peak is the fairest single number, and the 30-day chart shows how patches and events move it.
