Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince

Journey into a fantastical world on a quest for revenge in DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince. Psaro is cursed and is unable to harm anything with monster blood. Now, he must become a Monster Wrangler to create an army for battle. The hunt for high-ranked monsters takes Psaro through the ever-changing seasons of Nadiria and its unique environments, with rivers of bubbling lava, mysterious ancient ruins, and soaring towers of cake. Along the way, Psaro meets the kind-hearted elf, Rose, who joins his adventure to seek out ever-stronger monsters. The key to Psaro's success lies with synthesis: the ability to combine two monsters and create a stronger offspring. Each new creation brings Psaro one step closer to his goal of becoming the Master of Monsterkind.

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam. 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 Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince?

We estimate that about 9,000 people have played Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince — plausibly between 4K and 45K. Around 3,300 of them play on a given day, in a range of 1.6K and 6.8K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store and Steam rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince still active?

Yes. Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince 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 Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince 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.
