Audience momentum

-82.68% · 2026-10-15

Change in viewing and community activity between two 30-day periods. A rise shows growing audience interest, which can differ from changes in the number of players.

Twitch tracking expanded on 25 September 2026. Changes around that date may partly reflect the wider coverage.

How many people play RIFT each day?

Our latest estimate is 1,244 daily players. The charts above show how that estimate has changed.

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: Steam, Glyph launcher.

RIFT uses a Glyph account, including when launched through Steam. Its historical account milestones count activated accounts rather than people currently online. The separate RIFT Prime progression service closed in March 2019, with character transfers scheduled for the following week.
