The peak amount of players over the last 24 hours was 630. And since Sean Murray likes math so much, here are a few fun things about that number! (granted, these numbers do not account for PS4 players, but let's give the PC community some love.).That means that, on the planet earth, each player could have his own 312,539.7 square mile territory across the surface.If each player was put in the United States and evenly distributed in each state, around 12.6 players would be in each state (sorry, a few people are gonna have to be amputees).The all-time peak for players was 212,321, meaning that since launch, the playerbase dropped by 99.7% over a three month period.

Only 0.3% of PC players still play the game. The Division, a game that released 8 months ago to mostly positive reviews, only had an 83% drop over the course of 8 months (and will likely experience a spike of returning players due to upcoming DLC).That amount of players is 110% larger than the number of Spartans that fought against Xerxes and his forces. (Nice!).According to their website, Hello Games is a 16-person team, meaning that if they divide up the remaining players, they will have 39.375 people to proudly represent! (Hooray for the amputees!).630 is the area code for Chicago's North/West suburbs.Lastly. 6-3+0= 3 (You know the rest, gaming community). I think they didn't explain (or even understand) what they were saying very well, but they are sort of right.

We are talking about peak concurrent players here. While that stat can be used as a rough measure to compare popularity of games, it does not reflect the number of people still playing NMS.Hypothetical situation, just to explain what I mean: If every hour 100 players would start a game, play for an hour, and then another 100 players start the game and play it for an hour. (no overlap in time or users) and that would go on for a week, in that week the peak concurrent player count would have been 100 every day, but there were actually 16800 people playing in that week.When they say 30k played NMS in the last 2 weeks it means that 30k different (distinct) steam users started the game at some point in the last 2 weeks, but there were never more than about 800 online at the same time. Here is where you can see 'Players in the last two weeks'The avg stat is just as useless as the peak stat. It just shows you how many people were playing the game at the exact same time. It does not track how many different people actually played the game.The 'Players in the last two weeks' stat actually counts how many of 800000 owners loaded the game up in the last two weeks.

Their playtime can also be found there. I'm not saying its a high number or great number, but it is a far more accurate representation of how many people still play NMS.

In brief: In the history of gaming, few titles managed to generate as much hype before crashing so hard quite like No Man’s Sky. But now, around 22 months since it was released to almost universal condemnation, the space exploration sim has defied the odds and climbed to the top of the Steam charts, all thanks to the Next update.

Back in 2016, the anticipation over No Man’s Sky was so high that developer Hello Games received death threats when a seven-week delay was announced. The game proved very popular upon launch, hitting over 212,000 concurrent players on Steam, but that number dropped drastically as people found it failed to match its pre-release videos and lacked important elements such as multiplayer.

While not everyone hated the game, many felt they had been lied to over what it offered. A slew of buyers started demanding refunds, while the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 23 complaints that the “game content was not as depicted or described.” The fallout led to Valve banning bullshots from its Steam listings, and No Man’s Sky was regularly mocked on social media. Just over one month after it arrived, concurrent player numbers fell to fewer than 1000.

But despite the setback, Hello Games and its founder, Sean Murray, never gave up on No Man’s Sky, releasing several updates (Foundation, Path Finder, and Atlas Rises) that improved the game by adding elements such as base building and land vehicles. But it was last week’s fourth and biggest update, Next, that changed everything.

With so many new features and graphical overhauls, Next has turned No Man’s Sky into the game people were expecting in 2016. Additionally, what is arguably the most critical aspect has now been fully implemented: multiplayer. The update has seen NMS climb to the top of the Steam charts and is currently the seventh most popular game on the platform, with 90,651 concurrent players today (at the time of writing). Moreover, Steam reviews have moved from Mixed to Very Positive, with 82 percent of user reviews in the last 30 days being positive.

It’s been quite a journey for No Man’s Sky, one that proves how persistence and perseverance can pay off in the end.
