Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include console players?
No. Steam player counts only cover players running the game through Steam, not Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Epic Games Store, or other platforms.
Why do counts move during the day?
Player counts follow time zones, weekends, updates, sales, and major events. Europe evening hours often produce high Steam-wide activity.
