AI Summary
A recent survey shows 42.4% of Steam users play PC games only. GameDiscoverCo conducted the research linking library data. Analysts warn these hardcore fans may not represent everyone.

A survey targeting Steam users revealed that 42.4% of respondents exclusively play PC games without touching console or mobile titles.
The news was shared on the 16th by market research firm GameDiscoverCo. The survey linked actual Steam library data with survey responses upon user consent, determining platform usage based on whether respondents played games on each platform for more than an hour over the past month.
According to the findings, 91.5% of all respondents used PC games, with 42.4% of that group relying strictly on PC gaming. Among respondents who utilized other platforms alongside PC, the ratio of concurrent mobile gaming was relatively high. The proportion of users enjoying both PC and mobile games while skipping consoles sat at 22%, whereas those balancing PC and consoles without mobile games accounted for 11.5%. Meanwhile, 15.6% of PC gamers engaged with all three platforms: PC, console, and mobile.
However, the firm advised that because survey participants were heavily concentrated among enthusiastic Steam fans active in online communities, one should exercise caution before generalizing these results to the entire Steam user base or general PC gamers' platform usage ratios.

스팀 이용자를 대상으로 한 설문조사에서 응답자의 42.4%가 콘솔이나 모바일 게임을 이용하지 않고 PC게임만 즐기는 것으로 나타났다.
해당 소식은 지난 16일, 게임 시장 조사 업체 게임디스커버코(GameDiscoverCo)를 통해 전해졌다. 조사는 응답자 동의를 거쳐 실제 스팀 라이브러리 데이터와 설문 답변을 연계해 진행됐으며, 최근 한 달 동안 각 플랫폼에서 게임을 1시간 넘게 플레이했는지를 기준으로 이용 여부를 구분했다.
이에 따르면 전체 응답자의 91.5%가 PC게임을 이용했으며, 그중 42.4%는 PC게임만 하는 것으로 집계됐다. PC 외 플랫폼을 함께 이용하는 응답자 가운데서는 모바일 게임을 병행하는 비율이 상대적으로 높았다. PC와 모바일게임을 모두 즐기면서 콘솔은 이용하지 않는 비율이 22%, PC와 콘솔을 병행하지만 모바일게임은 이용하지 않는 응답자는 11.5%였다. PC게임 이용자 중 PC·콘솔·모바일을 모두 이용하는 비중은 15.6%로 나타났다.
다만 업체는 조사 참여자가 온라인 커뮤니티 활동에 적극적인 열성 스팀 팬층에 집중된 만큼, 이번 결과를 스팀 전체 이용자나 일반 PC 게이머의 플랫폼 이용 비율로 확대 해석하는 데는 주의가 필요하다고 당부했다.
