Valve has released its latest Steam Hardware and Software Survey, which revealed a 20.88 percent increase in Simplified Chinese-speaking users in February 2025, making up half of the entire userbase.

As Automaton noted, February usually brings an increase of Chinese users to Steam as it coincides with Chinese New Year holidays. However, this year's increase was significantly higher than usual - 2024 saw an equivalent increase of 7.26 percent.

I'm guessing China has a separate client to comply with the law without needing to add backdoors for everyone else?

Seems strange that they were previously excluding those numbers either way.

Yes, like linking your actual ID before getting access, and even then you only get to play games that the government has allowed you to play.
