Region: Steam Global. These figures describe concurrent players using the Steam client only. They do not include players launching AION 2 through NC’s PURPLE client. The source is a third-party tracker that samples the Steam Web API every five minutes, so each figure should be read with its timestamp and measurement window.
The November 6 reading
When the tracker updated at 13:00 UTC on November 6, 2026, it showed:
| Metric | Steam reading |
|---|---|
| Current concurrent players | 165,906 |
| Rolling 24-hour peak | 190,553 |
| Rolling 24-hour average of samples | 154,171 |
| Steam all-time peak | 397,905 (October 5, 2026) |
The current count is a single observation. The rolling 24-hour peak is the highest sampled value during the preceding 24 hours; they are not interchangeable.
Recent completed UTC days
| UTC date | Daily peak | Daily average of samples | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov. 1 | 233,713 | 182,639 | 288 / 288 |
| Nov. 2 | 209,207 | 167,334 | 288 / 288 |
| Nov. 3 | 191,908 | 156,923 | 288 / 288 |
| Nov. 4 | 193,742 | 135,362 | 288 / 288 |
| Nov. 5 | 190,553 | 153,934 | 287 / 288 |
Comparing November 1 with November 5, two nearly complete UTC days:
- The daily peak moved from 233,713 to 190,553, a decline of about 18.5%.
- The daily average of collected samples moved from 182,639 to 153,934, a decline of about 15.7%.
This shows that Steam’s recent concurrent peaks were below the November 1 level. It does not establish an equivalent percentage of player departures. Weekday patterns, sampling time, maintenance and launcher choice can all affect concurrent readings.
November 6 is still a partial day
At 13:00 UTC, the tracker had collected 157 of 288 expected samples for November 6. The day was not complete. Its current reading of 165,906 should not be compared with the completed November 5 daily peak of 190,553, nor treated as the final peak for November 6.
Steam is not the whole Global population
- The Steam Web API measures concurrent users of Steam AppID 3393110.
- Players launching through PURPLE are not included in this Steam-only series.
- Concurrent users are not daily active users, monthly active users, registered accounts or unique players.
- NC’s launch-period statement of more than 400,000 concurrent users covers a different reporting scope and should not be combined with this Steam-only series.
This snapshot is useful for following short-term Steam activity. On its own, it cannot prove retention, explain why concurrency changes, or measure the entire Global service.
