Estimates, not counts — nobody publishes real player numbers for mobile games, so these are modelled from public signals. How we work them out

What the estimate rests on

  • Google Play 60%
  • App Store 32%
  • Twitch 7.9%

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Codenames, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam, 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.

Not tracked for Codenames: Discord, Reddit, YouTube. A platform appears here once the game has a link to it — most mobile games have no Steam port or subreddit, so a gap is normal rather than a sign the game is small.

Storyline

The two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES. The teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin. Codenames: win or lose, it’s fun to figure out the clues.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Codenames?

We estimate that about 65,000 people have played Codenames — plausibly between 33K and 130K. Around 3,300 of them play on a given day, in a range of 330 and 20K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Codenames still active?

Yes. Codenames 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 Codenames 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.

Codenames has 345 viewers on Twitch, as of August 9, 2026.
