All vikisSteam Player Count
How many people play Enshrouded on Steam right now, when in the day and week they play, how many stayed after launch and where we think the count goes next, worked out by Vi.ki from Steam's hourly count.
Enshrouded's player count on Steam is read every hour by Vi.ki from Steam's own public count, and this page turns those readings into what no chart shows: the busiest and quietest hours, the busiest day of the week, how much of the launch crowd stayed, the trend and our outlook. The chart itself is on the home page.
Vi.ki's analysis of the Steam counts
What follows is worked out by Vi.ki from Steam's own hourly count, which we record every hour, and is found nowhere else: the hour of the day and the day of the week people play, how many stayed after launch, the trend, the rank among the games Vi.ki charts, and our own outlook. It updates every hour.
Enshrouded had 68,309 players on Steam at the latest hourly reading (Nov 8, 2026 at 16:00 UTC), with a peak of 69,701 in the 24 hours before it. That is 43% of its all-time peak, and the best day of the last 30 reached 73% of it.

When people play: the hour of the day
Over the last 25 days, Steam's count was highest at 20:00 UTC (12 PM in Los Angeles, 3 PM in New York, 8 PM in London, 9 PM in Berlin, 5 AM in Tokyo), when it ran 53% above the day's average, and lowest at 07:00 UTC, 44% below it. The busiest hour had 2.7 times the players of the quietest. For the fullest lobbies and shortest queues, play near the peak; for quiet servers, near the low.

When people play: the day of the week
Over the last eight weeks, the busiest day was Sunday, whose peak ran 26% above the week around it, and the quietest was Wednesday, 11% below it. Weekend peaks averaged +31% against weekday peaks.
How many stayed after launch
Enshrouded opened with a best day of 160,405 players in its first two weeks; a month on, its daily peak averaged 49,018, so it kept 31% of its launch crowd and lost about 69% in its first month. Among the 15 launches Vi.ki charts from day one, the typical game kept 46% after a month; Enshrouded kept more than 2 of the other 14.
Against the best day of the first two weeks after Early access (Jan 24, 2024), 160,405 players, the average daily peak of the week around each mark:

|---|---|---|
| 7 days | 131,979 | 82% |
| 30 days | 49,018 | 31% |
| 90 days | 12,685 | 8% |

Among the games Vi.ki charts
By the peak of the last 24 hours, Enshrouded is #10 of the 24 games with a Steam chart on Vi.ki, just behind ARC Raiders (72,954) and ahead of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered (51,227).
Our outlook
We think Enshrouded is riding the lift from 1.0, out Oct 15: over the last four weeks its daily peak rose 36% a week. Rises like this fade, so we expect daily peaks at or below today's level, about 114,760, three months from now, unless new content keeps coming. This is our projection of the trend, not a reported figure.
How this is made: Vi.ki records Steam's own count of people playing every hour (Steam's public player count) and holds SteamDB's measured chart before that. The hour and weekday patterns compare each hour with its own day, so a rising or falling month does not tilt them. Steam only: console and other stores are not counted. Updated every hour; this page may be up to a day behind.
