Deadlock set an all-time Steam high of 303,347 concurrent players on October 16, 2026, according to SteamDB’s chart. That was 41,202 more players than the 262,145 peak reported for October 9, a rise of about 15.7% over that earlier figure.
How the October peaks compare
Players4Players reported the October 9 peak at 262,145, the milestone covered in NeoTeo’s earlier report on Deadlock’s Steam record. Its report also says the October 16 record coincided with Violet, the fifth of six heroes in the City Never Sleeps update, joining the game. SteamDB lists the later figure as Deadlock’s all-time peak.
| Peak | Date | Concurrent players | Change from October 9 |
| Earlier peak | October 9, 2026 | 262,145 | Baseline |
| All-time high | October 16, 2026 | 303,347 | +41,202 (+15.7%) |
The increase is 303,347 − 262,145 = 41,202 players, or about 15.7% of the October 9 peak.
