He is about to embark on a journey that takes him to where no ride has ever been before. From Ragnarok to a Nuclear Plant, all places are a racing track to Bill.

Player estimates

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

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Hill Climb Racing?

We estimate that about 5,000,000 people have played Hill Climb Racing — plausibly between 1.3M and 11M. Around 250,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 13K and 1.7M. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store, Reddit and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Hill Climb Racing still active?

Yes. Hill Climb Racing 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 Hill Climb Racing 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.

How big is the Hill Climb Racing Reddit community?

Hill Climb Racing has 18,371 members on Reddit, as of August 9, 2026.
