Escape From Tarkov player count in 2023: Overall & daily players

You might be wondering what the Escape From Tarkov player count is in 2023, as the hardcore extraction shooter has over the years grown to become one of the most popular FPS games out there. While Escape From Tarkov might not be for all players, it has piqued the interest of so many out there that love the heart-pounding combat that remains punishing no matter how many hours you put in.

As the game runs on its own client outside of the Steam ecosystem, it is quite difficult to get an accurate count of how many players are actually in the game at any one point in time.

However, we have collated all of the information that is out there at the moment, so make sure to keep reading the rest of this guide below to find out the latest Escape From Tarkov player count.

According to MMO Stats, the estimated total Escape From Tarkov player count in 2023 is around 14.4 million players, with the estimated daily numbers being at around 122,000 too.

These are of course unofficial numbers, as Battlestate Games does not publish these details, but this estimate does line up with the Twitch viewership relative to other FPS games like Apex Legends or Dead by Daylight.

The only official information we have received regarding the Escape From Tarkov player count is within this Reddit post from the game's director Nikita Buyanov, who stated on May 30, 2020, that the game had reached a concurrent peak record of 200,000 players.

As the game has grown quite dramatically since then, it thus makes sense for the daily average to be around 120,000 as MMO Stats estimates - but of course, we will not know for sure outside of BSG releasing further details.
