Despite its age, it continues to maintain a strong player base due to frequent updates, viral streaming presence, and a devoted community. SteamCharts and third-party tracking consistently show around 80,000-90,000 daily active users on PC, with some console presence as well. The game thrives on large, persistent servers, but individual servers typically support 100-300 players, not the thousands seen in true MMOs.
