GunZ: The Duel Player Count & Steam Charts
Where the Population Stands
The live count of 657 is 30% of the launch-day peak and 68% of the 30-day peak; the latest 24-hour peak (725) is 33% of launch day. For a 2003 game relaunched free-to-play, a 30-day average in the mid-600s means rooms fill at every hour in NA and EU; expect the deepest lobbies in the evening PDT window when the clan-war crowd is on.
Two Sources, Two Peaks
Steam Charts lists an all-time peak of 960, while SteamDB recorded a 24-hour peak of 2,208 on launch day (Aug 13–14). The two trackers sample at different intervals, and Steam Charts' monthly row starts after the launch spike, so both numbers are shown here rather than picking one. When you see "GunZ peaked at 960" or "at 2,208", that is the difference.
