Ingress
Ingress is an augmented reality massively multiplayer online role playing GPS-dependent game created by Niantic Labs, a startup within Google, originally for Android devices, and since July 14, 2014 for Apple's iOS. The game has a complex science fiction back story with a continuous open narrative. The gameplay consists of establishing "portals" at places of public art, landmarks, monuments, etc., and linking them to create virtual triangular fields over geographic areas. Progress in the game is measured by the number of "mind units" (MUs), i.e. people nominally controlled by each faction (as illustrated on the Intel Map). The necessary links between portals may range from feet/meters to miles/kilometers or hundreds of miles/kilometers in operations of considerable logistical complexity. International links and fields are not uncommon, as Ingress has attracted an enthusiastic following in cities worldwide amongst both young and old, to the extent that the gameplay is itself a lifestyle for some, including tattoos.

Player estimates
Nobody publishes how many people play Ingress, 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.

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Frequently asked questions
How many people play Ingress?
We estimate that about 620,000 people have played Ingress — plausibly between 290K and 4.1M. Around 31,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 2.9K and 610K. 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 Ingress still active?
Yes. Ingress 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 Ingress 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 Ingress Reddit community?
Ingress has 58,085 members on Reddit, as of August 9, 2026.
When was Ingress released?
Ingress was released on October 30, 2013 for Android and iOS.
What platforms is Ingress available on?
Ingress is available on Android and iOS. You can get it from Google Play and App Store (iPhone).
