How many people play Final Fantasy XI each day?
Our latest estimate is 311 daily players. The charts above show how that estimate has changed.
Are tracked characters the same as players?
One account can have several characters. Community databases count the characters they track, rather than everyone playing today.
What is the difference between active players and registered accounts?
Daily and monthly active accounts count accounts used during that period. Registered accounts include inactive ones, and one person can have several. A count of players online measures something different.
Platforms and account coverage
Platforms: Windows.
Distribution: PlayOnline, Steam.
PlayOnline IDs are linked to a Square Enix account. The Steam edition still uses PlayOnline and requires a game subscription. In June 2026, Square Enix announced restrictions on new characters and transfers to Phoenix because of server congestion.
