JoinGG

Measured, not estimated

How many people still play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive?

429 players are on the 195 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers JoinGG is reaching right now, of 268 listed.

Across the 118 hours covered well enough to compare, that count has run between 320 and 957.

Every figure on this page was measured by JoinGG. We ask all 268 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers listed here every hour, over Valve's A2S status query (the same request the in-game server browser makes), and write down what each one answers. Nothing is scraped from another site, modelled, or extrapolated to servers we do not list — which is also the limit of it: these are the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers on JoinGG, so read the counts as a large sample of public community servers rather than as a census of the game.

These figures rest on 38,313 status checks across 169 measured hours, of which 118 cover enough of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive list to compare with the others. Readings are kept for 7 days, so this page gets deeper as they accumulate rather than longer. By players on listed servers, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the 8th busiest of the 32 games JoinGG measures.

Hours plotted
118 of 169

51 hours are marked but not plotted. The poller reached under 90% of the list in those hours, so the totals are low because fewer servers were asked — not because fewer people were playing. Drawing them on the same line would invent a drop.

The other player count

There is no Valve figure to put next to this one

Steam counts it under app id 730, which Counter-Strike 2 uses too, so there is one Valve figure for the two of them. It sits on the Counter-Strike 2 page rather than being printed twice here and inviting anyone to add them up. The count on this page is ours, measured the way the rest of it was.

Where those players are right now

The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive listings with the most people on them at the last sweep. Every figure in the row is what that server answered — the ping is our round trip to it, not yours, so read it as a rough measure of where the box is rather than of what you will get.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player counts — the questions

Is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive still alive in 2026?
Yes, and this is the measurement rather than an opinion. 429 players are on the 195 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers JoinGG is reaching right now, of 268 listed. Across the 118 hours covered well enough to compare, that count has run between 320 and 957. Every one of those numbers came from asking the servers themselves.
When is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive busiest?
Around 18:00 UTC. Averaged over 7 days of readings, that hour carries about 886 players across the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers listed here.
How many Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers are there?
268 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers are listed on JoinGG, and 195 of them answered the last status query. The other 73 stayed silent, which is recorded as silent rather than as empty — a server that does not answer and a server with nobody on it are different facts and we only measured one of them.
How is this counted?
Every figure on this page was measured by JoinGG. We ask all 268 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers listed here every hour, over Valve's A2S status query (the same request the in-game server browser makes), and write down what each one answers. Nothing is scraped from another site, modelled, or extrapolated to servers we do not list — which is also the limit of it: these are the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive servers on JoinGG, so read the counts as a large sample of public community servers rather than as a census of the game.

Readings are kept for 7 days and pruned by the poller, so this page describes the last week rather than all time — it gets deeper as readings accumulate rather than longer. Hours are measured in UTC and shown in your own clock; hover any of them to read the UTC figure behind it. The answers above stay in UTC, because each is also published as structured data for search engines, where a reader’s zone means nothing.

How many people still play the others

Every game JoinGG measures with enough servers behind it to publish, busiest first. The number on each is the players we can see on its listed servers right now.
