Candy Crush Saga

Candy Crush Saga is a free-to-play match-three puzzle video game released by King as a variation of their browser game Candy Crush. In the game, players complete levels by swapping colored pieces of candy on a game board to make a match of three or more of the same color, eliminating those candies from the board and replacing them with new ones, which could potentially create further matches. Boards have various goals that must be completed within a fixed number of moves, such as collecting a specific number of a type of candy.

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Candy Crush Saga, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Candy Crush Saga?

We estimate that about 160,000,000 people have played Candy Crush Saga — plausibly between 48M and 330M. Around 7,900,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 480K and 50M. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store, Reddit, YouTube and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Candy Crush Saga still active?

Yes. Candy Crush Saga is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Candy Crush Saga player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
