These are Steam players only. A game that also runs on its own launcher, a storefront of its own or on console has players this number cannot see, so read it as a comparison of Steam audiences rather than of total ones.
Terraria has had the higher daily player count for the last 55 days. 7 Days to Die last led on Aug 16, 2026.
How this works: each game's daily average concurrent players (from Coilr's own Steam readings), compared on the 136 days where both games have data. Whichever averages higher leads that day.
