It's not all that common we post about milestones, but we think this one is definitely worth mentioning. For the first time, Dota 2 has surpassed 10 million unique players within the last month, peaking at 10,017,953 on January 1st 2015, according to the automated counter on the Dota 2 blog.
Dota 2 has consistently stood as Valve's most popular game since well before its release in July 2013, maintaining a player base of around 8-9 million regular unique players throughout 2014. As a point of comparison, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive continue to sit around 3 million and 4 million players, respectively.
Obviously this doesn't provide a very good indication of how many total players have played the game throughout its lifetime, but it does show Dota 2 definitely still has room to grow, despite already being Valve's most popular title, the most played game on Steam, and one of the most popular games in the world.
