VALORANT, the tactical shooter developed by Riot Games, has produced a significant amount of viewership across Twitch and YouTube, between a dedicated livestreaming community and a flourishing esports scene. But exactly how many people are actually playing it?
Riot unveiled how many PC players from around the world log on to play VALORANT, sharing the number with the community on June 2, 2021. Back then, VALORANT averaged over 14 million players each month, according to the developer.
In addition to the game’s player base, a lot of people are tuning in to watch the best that VALORANT has to offer on streaming platforms like Twitch. Pro VALORANT has brought in millions of viewers over the years via its VALORANT Champions Tour ecosystem.
The influx of content creator superstars like Shroud and Tarik hosting co-streams has contributed to record viewership numbers for professional VALORANT matches as well. But how does the game’s player base look?
What is VALORANT‘s player count in 2023?
Over a year has passed since Riot released the official player numbers for VALORANT. According to third-party site Activeplayer.io, the game currently has over 23 million active players over the past month. According to Tracker.gg, however, the number of active players per month is closer to 19 million in 2023.
Regardless of which number is more accurate, both sites show that VALORANT‘s player base has been steadily rising since the start of 2022 when it comes to monthly and daily players. With the game set to continue debuting new agents and maps, and new features like Premier mode, there’s no indication that this growth will slow down any time soon.
