When people play
Average concurrent players by day and hour over the last 16 days, shown in .
Daily activity peaks around 07:00 — a pattern consistent with a player base concentrated in East Asia & Oceania, with a second wave suggesting a sizable audience in the Americas. Steam publishes no per-country player data, so this is inferred from play times.
