Joss Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 (Maybe this post is in the wrong place, if so I'm really sorry) Hi ! As stated in the title : how many players DCS World has ? I found only one post on reddit that was adressing this topic, and it's a post from 2018 without any good answer... (maybe there isn't one available). I made some research and, from what I've seen, the number of players if 4 times higher now than it was in 2018 (you can see that with the increase of suscribers on ED Youtube channel, the increase of likes on their facebook page and the increase of the Steam player base). But I have not found anything on the number of players... I know this might be a strange question to ask, but I have the feeling aeronautical simulation market is increasing a lot recently, and I'd like to know if DCS World is benefiting from this good trend ! (I hope it is the case !). So what's the number of players (approximately) ? And what regions of the world play the most (United States, Europe, China, etc.) ? Thank you for your answer ! 1

I have no idea what is the total number of players, but the Steam statics DO SHOW that the amount is increasing overtime: Jan/2022: 1700 daily players Jan/2021: 1500 Jan 2020: 1250 Jan 2019: 700 jan 2018: 460 https://steamplayercount.com/app/223750 1 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Kang Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 It's close to impossible to say like that. I mean, what does constitute a player for your count anyways? Anybody who ever installed DCS? Anybody who owns a module? Anybody actively playing on a regular basis?
toutenglisse Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Refering to @Wags words from latest Apache video, there are "all those hundreds of FFB sticks out there..." (in a bit of ironic way - lets say 100 to safely be in the right magnitude), and the rest (spring centered sticks) represents "probably about 99.9% of most customers". So if 100 is 0.1% of customers, 100% of customers are 100 000 (nearly because it can't be rougher math).
Joss Posted March 14, 2022 Author Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Well so I guess it is safe to say that it's hard to tell how many players DCS World has ! And like @Kangsaid, between people who only created an account, people playing once a month or regularly, it is hard to discriminate... I think we can say 100 000 users (solo or multiplayer) and maybe 400 000 registered. But that's worst than an estimation... Is there a way to see the number of people registered on the ED Forum ?
