How these estimates are made

VRChat

We estimate that about 600,000 people play VRChat on a typical day (most likely between 360,000 and 1,000,000), based on data from Nov 14, 2026. Around 9,600,000 accounts (between 6,300,000 and 15,000,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
