How alive is multiplayer?

Looking to pick this up before the 28th, but player count doesn't look great if I'm honest

Last time I tried I got 3 other racers.

Active global players are 300-80 people... and tanking... Save your cash. https://steamdb.info/app/958400/graphs/

PC3 has a "Scheduled Race" capability. I've never had a problem getting a decent grid when doing the scheduled races. However, the old school "look in the server lobby" type races will be scarce.

It's alive enough I'd say...
I also think more and more players will be joining as the game is really good.

It's alive enough to find races and lobbies. But not enough if you plan to play it for whole day. There are quiet times from time to time.

Died out very quickly tbh.

Anyway you can play some scheduled races with 7-8+ people usually in EU prime time.

At peak, in the last 24 hours, there are only 327 players playing the game worldwide.
The online multiplayer is dead and after selling the game to Codemasters, they appear to have cut their losses and aren't bothering to release patches or provide proper support for all it's issues. It feels like a blatant cash grab at this point.

Project Cars 2 however has 1,688 players playing the game worldwide

At present, there are 5x as many people playing Project CARS2, than there are people playing Project CARS3. If you want a better game and a better racing experience, pick up PCARS2, it's only $9.99 right now.

Otherwise, if you're interested in a true racing simulation:
Assetto Corsa: 5,520 peak in the last 24 hours
Assetto Corsa Competizioned: 2,960 peak in the last 24 hours
rFactor 2: 1,102 peak in the last 24 hours

Different games in every way, and unrelated to OP's question.

It's best to wait for a deep sale, which will attract more people to the game.

Dead, very dead ..a couple of guys hang out all day with one track which is the only track they play. I'll be moving on to ACC or back to PC2.
