Gone Home

A first-person exploratory game taking place in 1995 in which Katie, a university student back from Europe, arrives at her family's newly inherited mansion only to find nobody there, with a note from her younger sister Sam suggesting that she's left home. Katie must explore the mansion to put together the stories of where her parents have gone and why Sam has decided to leave.

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Gone Home, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on App Store, Steam, Reddit, 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.

Only the games with a PC port appear here, but where Steam does report it is a real concurrent-player count rather than a proxy for one.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Gone Home?

We estimate that about 32,000 people have played Gone Home — plausibly between 15K and 71K. Around 1,600 of them play on a given day, in a range of 150 and 11K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on App Store, Steam, Reddit and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Gone Home still active?

Yes. Gone Home 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 Gone Home 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.

Gone Home has 860 members on Reddit, as of August 9, 2026.
