Major balance changes to all classes, new dungeon difficulty, and holiday events are now available. Check out the full patch notes for details.
As of mid-2024, The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) continues to maintain a healthy and active player base, though exact numbers are not publicly disclosed by ZeniMax Online Studios or Bethesda. Heres what we know: Estimated Active Players: Monthly Active Users (MAU): Estimates suggest 12 million players log in monthly across all platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox). Peak Concurrent Players (PC): SteamDB data shows 20,00040,000 concurrent players on Steam alone during peak hours. This excludes players via the Bethesda launcher, Xbox, or PlayStation. Factors Influencing Player Count: Content Updates: Major expansions (e.g., Necrom in 2023, Gold Road in 2024) and quarterly DLCs boost activity. Platforms: Cross-platform play isnt supported, but each platform has a dedicated community. Console populations are notably strong. Events: Seasonal events (e.g., Whitestrakes Mayhem, New Life Festival) draw returning players. ESO Plus Subscriptions: The optional subscription model retains long-term players with perks like access to DLCs. Comparison to Other MMOs: ESO is among the top 5 most-played Western MMOs, behind World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV, but ahead of niche titles like Guild Wars 2. Its praised for its solo-friendly content, lore-rich world, and consistent updates. How to Check Activity: Steam Charts: SteamDB tracks PC concurrent players. In-Game Zones: High-traffic areas (e.g., Elden Root, Mournhold) often feel bustling. Community Feedback: Subreddits (r/elderscrollsonline) and forums reflect engagement trends. While not as massive as some AAA MMOs, ESOs player base remains stable, supported by regular updates and a loyal fanbase. For the latest metrics, watch for Bethesdas annual reports or community censuses. Would you like details on server populations or platform-specific activity?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
