280,000 Players

[John Wesley Harding]

Right now there are around 280,000 people playing this game. Is that a lot or a little?

Diablo® IV 6,021 <--because of that player amount

While we don't have all statistics of all platforms, same is for PoE2.

Also, D4 bad (and deadge)

PoE 2 is brand new and D4 S6 is months old, also D4 debuted higher than PoE 2 fyi. I play both and will play D4 season 7 since I think it's fun! Also, who even cares about player counts, I swear you zoomers have some weird obsession with tracking player counts like it's the stock market, it's so bizarre to me.

I just like statistics since i also had it as part of my university studies. ^^ So it's good when can understand where those come from and sort of the meta data around it all and between all platforms. :)

Alot of poe players use the GGG launcher also.

Players are kinda split on different launcher. Some play on GGG game launcher. Some probably on EPIC Store. Numbers only tell STEAM side of things. Also today.. half of the players are probably working as its Monday on certain part of the world. I think best metric are the 24h peak numbers. Also numbers on weekends

You check when it's midnight on the US East coast and 6/7 am in Europe on a Monday/workday. So I don't know how relevant that number is for the conclusion of your little market research ^^

Right, but where is that number coming from? Source?

Steam charts. You know how to check charts, right? O_o

you're using steam charts which only counts steam players to compare games with their own launcher available on multiple platforms and stores

What about people playing Diablo not through Steam?

It's also on GamePass and Battle Net.

PoE2 has also it's own launcher and multiple platforms and stores. :D

So it does show very well the scale or situation. Everyone knows this who knows how to compare to games in same genre that has exactly similar market and all platforms are the same. :)

for America, it was the middle of the night, on a sunday night, when you looked at the current player. it was very early morning/dawn in Europe.
It's normal to have about 1/3rd of the players during those time.

[Boomshanka]

The thing is to be honest, i dont care how many players a game has. If i think a game is good and i enjoy it i play it.

[Sloop]

If they wanted a super wide appeal they wouldn't have made it "difficult". I think they understand that Diablo 4 has more pull towards FIFA enjoyers and they're not trying to compete on that level

u shoud also count around +100.000 players from original launcher

You know they have very similar player base and scaling of it between every platform.

There is zero reason to assume that this is the case. You just decided that it works like that and went with it.
