How many people play CS2? Counter-Strike 2 August 2024 player count

Counter-Strike 2 continues to be the top-played game on Steam and has solidified that position since its launch in September 2023. Although there aren’t any major updates or changes planned for the future, the game has still not budged from its top spot.

So if you’re wondering how many players are playing CS2 in August 2024, here’s everything you need to know.

CS2 player count this month

According to SteamCharts, CS2 had a daily average of 884,478 players from July to August 2024, and 1,030,450 were playing the game at the time of writing. However, this is the second straight month where it has failed to cross the 900K daily average mark since April 2024.

Keep in mind that these stats are from a third-party website, and Valve have not released official monthly player count data from their end. Despite this being the only viable source of estimating CS2’s player counts, take these numbers with a pinch of salt.

What is CS2’s peak player count on Steam?

Counter-Strike 2 peaked at 1,802,853 concurrent players in May 2023, while the game was still in beta.

CS2’s peak player count from July to August 2024 was 1,342,171. Even after a minor fall in numbers since July, the game likely won’t slow down in upcoming months. After all, it has been the most popular FPS title on PC since its launch back in September.

Although Valve have not revealed much news about CS2’s future plans, they have been constantly releasing new patches to make the gameplay experience better for players, so this might be one of the many reasons behind CS2’s continued success.
