How many people play War Thunder each day?

Our latest estimate is 607,297 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, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S.

Distribution: Gaijin launcher, Steam, PlayStation, Xbox.

Shared battles do not make accounts interchangeable. A linked PlayStation account can play through the non-Steam PC, Mac or Linux client, with purchase restrictions. Gaijin currently pauses console-to-PC account transfers and new Xbox email linking. Xbox players can choose whether to join cross-platform battles.
