FTL: Faster Than Light
In FTL you experience the atmosphere of running a spaceship trying to save the galaxy. It's a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields? Reroute all power to the engines in an attempt to escape, power up additional weapons to blow your enemy out of the sky, or take the fight to them with a boarding party? This "spaceship simulation roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat.

Player estimates
Nobody publishes how many people play FTL: Faster Than Light, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on App Store, Steam, Reddit. 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 FTL: Faster Than Light?
We estimate that about 180,000 people have played FTL: Faster Than Light — plausibly between 50K and 6.5M. Around 8,900 of them play on a given day, in a range of 500 and 980K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on App Store, Steam and Reddit rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.
Is FTL: Faster Than Light still active?
Yes. FTL: Faster Than Light 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 FTL: Faster Than Light 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 3 readings taken since August 8, 2026.

FTL: Faster Than Light has 93,551 members on Reddit, as of August 9, 2026.
