Summary
Q.What is the current player count for FINAL FANTASY XIV Online?
A.There isn't an official, real-time public count for all players in Final Fantasy XIV Online.

Publicly available data show that Square Enix announced over 30 million registered Final Fantasy XIV accounts in early 2024, a milestone often cited in coverage of the game's growth. However, this is not the same as current active or concurrent players, and there is no official live figure published by Square Enix. Community-driven census sites provide the most consistent public proxy: in March 2025, Lucky Bancho reported about 990,000 active characters, with Dawntrail-era activity declining; by May 2025 that estimate had fallen toward roughly 880,000 active characters. These numbers reflect activity rather than unique individuals and exclude the free-to-play trial pool. For historical context, the XIVCensus data from May 2024 listed world totals around 29.27 million characters, illustrating the scale of the overall population over time. If you’re looking at platform-specific engagement, Steam data shows only a subset of players (Steam users) fluctuating in the low to mid tens of thousands concurrently, far below the total population on other launchers. registered players milestone active character census March 2025 active character census May 2025 May 2024 census Steam concurrency snapshot (2025)
