Important limitation
This is not a live matchmaking count
Steam reports how many players are currently active in the app through Steam. It does not tell us how many are in ranked, searching for a match, playing customs, or sitting in a specific playlist.
The daily high shown here is an observed peak from stored samples, not an official Steam end-of-day peak value.
30-day trend
Observed daily highs
Daily highs will populate here as Team Respawn stores more Steam samples over time.
