Normally, the VR industry rarely reveals specific sales or player numbers, but now we have been given a comprehensive insight for the first time, even if it's only about VR titles on Steam.
For some time it was available via the Steam achievement system possibleto determine with any degree of accuracy how many users have played a game. The biggest blockbusters such as "Team Fortress 2", "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" had over 50, 46 and 36 million players respectively. You can view the list at ArsTechnica (as of 1 July 2018).
Of course, VR games were also recorded in this way. It should be noted that these are not official figures, but it is reported that this is the most accurate data that has been collected via Steam to date, although it does not correspond to the exact sales figures, especially since only games that offer Achievements are included.
