How many people play GTA Online? July 2024 player count

Thanks to heists and a shiny roster of vehicles you can use to drift around in Los Santos, GTA Online continues to be the go-to game for many players until Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out.

Following the announcement of GTA 6’s 2025 release, the hype around GTA Online has put it back on the Steam charts, making it one of the most sought-after games. So here’s its player count in July 2024.

GTA Online 2024 Steam player count

GTA Online averaged a total of 107,339 players per day throughout the last thirty days as of July 11 according to Steam Charts, with peak players hitting 177,902.

At the time, of writing, 122,943 concurrent players were online in the game. Numbers in July have seen a substantial increase to the 92,747 and 95,409 average daily players that were recorded on Steam Charts throughout May and April respectively.

However, keep in mind that Steam only makes up a fraction of GTA Online’s player base. The game is also available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, and the Epic Games Store. So, the complete numbers taking into account every other platform would be greater.

What is GTA Online’s peak player count?

GTA Online hit an all-time peak player count of 360,761 back in April 2015 — when it first arrived on PC. The next highest peak player count was 267,360 in February 2020.

The game exploded after it arrived on PC and again in 2020 due to the incredibly popular GTA RP Twitch meta.

It’s safe to say that GTA Online isn’t ‘dead,’ with the game having a healthy player base across Steam and Epic Games, and the next-gen edition likely brought in hundreds of thousands more.
