What is the difference between them?
You must be wondering if one of them is more important than the other one, well, let's say that both are great milestones however there is a little difference between them.
For starters, the concurrent users’ stat is the one that counts how many people is signed into Steam, it also includes users who are signed into Steam but aren’t playing anything and are just running the program in the background.
On the other hand, the concurrent in-game players’ stat, counts how many people are actively playing any games simultaneously.
