Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, 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.

Not tracked for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links: Discord, YouTube. 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.

Storyline

Duel Links features characters from the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime series. Seto Kaiba has created a virtual reality "Duel World" in order to gather the best duelists so they can compete. Players first have the option to play as either Yami Yugi or Seto Kaiba. As they continue to win duels, other characters become unlocked, including the character the player did not choose at the beginning.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links?

We estimate that about 3,600,000 people have played Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links — plausibly between 1.6M and 6.8M. Around 16,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 6K and 40K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam, Reddit and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links still active?

Yes. Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links 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 Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links 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.
