In the announcement for the 10th anniversary of League of Legends, the developers also mentioned current player numbers. These are so large that LoL could be the most popular PC game.
How many players does LoL have? According to their own statements, there are about 8 million players logged into League of Legends at peak times. This number consists of users from all regions as of August 2019.
Riot Games proudly claims that League of Legends is the largest PC game in the world. In total, more people play LoL daily than the ten most popular games on Steam combined.
Is LoL actually the most popular PC game? There are currently discussions regarding this question. For instance, the publisher of the Counter-Strike clone Crossfire also claims to have 8 million players daily. The game is particularly popular in Asia.
However, even if LoL were only the second most popular game, 8 million concurrent players is quite a number. And this is 10 years after the release of the MOBA.
In the future, LoL is set to receive a mobile version with Wild Rift.
