Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Pokémon Go, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Reddit, YouTube, 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.

Not tracked for Pokémon Go: Steam, Discord. A platform appears here once the game has a link to it — most mobile games have no Steam port or subreddit, so a gap is normal rather than a sign the game is small.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Pokémon Go?

We estimate that about 67,000,000 people have played Pokémon Go — plausibly between 29M and 400M. Around 3,300,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 290K and 60M. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store, Reddit, YouTube and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Pokémon Go still active?

Yes. Pokémon Go 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 Pokémon Go 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.
