How to read the number
- All servers combined. Steam counts everyone running the game. Your own world holds about 5,000. Official
- Daily rhythm. Fresh servers open at 5 PM UTC (EU) and 8 PM ET (East US), and the count tends to follow those evenings. Patch
- Wipes reset servers, not players. The weekly Federal Raid wipes progress, not the player base. Official
- For history charts, see SteamDB.
