Among the many games I am playing not a lot. Certainly not in the same level as any of the Wargaming franchise games like World of Tanks and World of Warships but MWO is way ahead of World of Warplanes. Not in the league of War Thunder or a mech game like War Robots (among the top 50 mobile games).

But MWO is way ahead of games like Armored Warfare, Fractured Space and Dreadnought, especially since it remains to be relatively quick in finding a 12 v 12 pvp match, which is not an easy achievement.

Strange. Wonder how AMD tabulates that number.

[JediPanther]

We don't have an accurate way of telling player count. We can find steam numbers,stand alone client numbers during an event, that amd numbers but really no way for certain of saying mwo has a total player count of x because it changes all the time.
Players rise and drop off for events,holidays,weekday vs weekend, or other reasons. Frankly I'm surprised it's lasted this long with all the major and minor fubars pgi with and without igp have made in the past.

If they got any thing really right it is the fact you can have a lot of fun with the mech lab tweeking your mech build then go full on derp-y rambo using the build to try and blow up another mech. That alone is why I've stayed so long. Too bad they can't do balance for crap. Just look at the light mech class and how fubar it is with the nerf of re-scale. Lights are the least played class for a lot of reasons and you only need to play one that isn't considered the best at the moment to see why.

Something like 50k players. Or to be really accurate, around 50k accounts playing. I have 1 account and only ever had one, but some players have more than 1.

Winter tends to have the highest seasonal numbers for gamers, as they stay home to avoid the cold. On the other side, summer tends to produce the lowest seasonal numbers for games. So do not be surprised to see peaks in winter and greatly reduced numbers in summer, and make a conclusion the game is dying. Its better to compare season on season.

As long as the game meets a requirement --- fast matchmaking for PvP matches --- you should be okay.

I see OP snuck in another clan mechs OP thread. We really need another. Thought you could hide that huh Dave....I see right though your charade!!

[Anjian]

A lack of player counters in the game suggest they don't have numbers to be boastful about. Still I do find quick PvP matches in the US server even on the low hours, so that's not bad, while its difficult on a game like Armored Warfare.

[WhineyThePoo]

Finding games faster in MWO than I do in world of warships (sometimes I get games with only 6 ships per side), Armored warfare, Fractured space, tank battles in war thunder etc.. So yeah MWO may not be the biggest game out there, but it ain't the smallest either.

[Davegt27]

my guess is if you have a AMD card they keep track of
any and all that you do with that card

so if you have a NVIDiA card those numbers might not show up

But are those numbers reset? Or is that just how many people with registered AMD cards that have ever installed it?

What about active members? Active in a day? Week? Since January 1st, 2016?

1 of 5 stars

Is that good?

[Spheroid]

I believe you could derive an estimate by observing the change in weight class population given a sufficiently large sync drop.

lol I remember being Clan Ghost Bear and not having a single win for a month (oct 2015)

which is pretty amazing

not sure but I have another screen capture that was before the steam launch and the numbers where a lot
less

so steam did have a positive effect

depends
can you rate it Zero or is one star minimum?

[Beaching Betty]

And your point it?

Sorry if it sounds rude but I dont know how to ask that politely..

[El Bandito]

About 30K players who play at least once every two weeks, on Steam. Average about 1000 players playing at any time, on Steam. Guess we can double or even triple that to take account of the MWO client.

[Appogee]

Zero, for the last six hours

[Willard Phule]

How many people play MW:O?

How about "not enough to make the matchmaker work?"
