Valve is celebrating the 20th anniversary of some of Steam's oldest user accounts by awarding special digital badges featuring the original Steam color scheme.
Steam, the largest digital PC gaming storefront globally, opened in September 2003.
The badges use the original Steam UI color scheme, sparking nostalgia among players, IGN reported.
Some users shared memories of the early days when "Counter-Strike" drew players to the platform, and remarkably, some of these early accounts are still active today.
Valve has evolved Steam over the years, recently entering hardware development with the Steam Deck.
In January, the leading digital distribution platform for PC gaming, achieved a major milestone with 10 million players actively engaged in playing games on the platform simultaneously.
What are the most popular games on Steam? As per Polygon, the most-chosen titles on the platform are Valve’s “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” (which has about a million daily players), “Dota 2,” Tencent Holdings ADR's “PUBG: Battlegrounds,” Activision Blizzard Inc's ATVI “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,” Amazon.com Inc's AMZN “Lost Ark,” Electronic Arts Inc's EA “FIFA 23,” and Respawn’s “Apex Legends.”
