Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play The King of Fighters '98, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on App Store, 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.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play The King of Fighters '98?

We estimate that about 37,000 people have played The King of Fighters '98 — plausibly between 18K and 74K. Around 120 of them play on a given day, in a range of 20 and 600. Both figures are modelled from public counts on App Store and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is The King of Fighters '98 still active?

Yes. The King of Fighters '98 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 The King of Fighters '98 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.
