Steam's own numbers show that it had a peak of 36,905,706 players today. Both of those numbers beat the previous record of 36,354,393 concurrent players, which was set in mid-March of 2024.

36905706 ÷ 36354393 = 1.015

This is 1.5% more than the previous record set 3½ months ago. I suppose its nice that the numbers haven't declined but I'm not sure I would call today's figure remarkable in any way.
