JoinGG

Measured, not estimated

How many people still play Garry's Mod?

1,508 players are on the 303 Garry's Mod servers JoinGG is reaching right now, of 351 listed.

Across the 123 hours covered well enough to compare, that count has run between 816 and 3,801.

Every figure on this page was measured by JoinGG. We ask all 351 Garry's Mod 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 Garry's Mod 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 50,774 status checks across 169 measured hours, of which 123 cover enough of the Garry's Mod 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, Garry's Mod is the 6th busiest of the 32 games JoinGG measures.

46 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.

These two count different things

Players here is ours: people connected to the Garry's Mod servers JoinGG lists, counted by asking each server. In game (Valve) is Steam's live count of everyone running Garry's Mod anywhere — official matchmaking, single-player, community servers and idle menus included. Neither is a subset of the other that we can compute: our list is not every community server in existence, and Valve's total is not limited to multiplayer. So both are printed and neither is divided by the other.

Valve's figure comes from the Steam Web API and is cached for an hour, so it can lag ours by up to that much.

Where those players are right now

The Garry's Mod 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.

Garry's Mod player counts — the questions

Is Garry's Mod still alive in 2026?
Yes, and this is the measurement rather than an opinion. 1,508 players are on the 303 Garry's Mod servers JoinGG is reaching right now, of 351 listed. Across the 123 hours covered well enough to compare, that count has run between 816 and 3,801. Every one of those numbers came from asking the servers themselves.
When is Garry's Mod busiest?
Around 17:00 UTC. Averaged over 6 days of readings, that hour carries about 3,493 players across the Garry's Mod servers listed here.
How many Garry's Mod servers are there?
351 Garry's Mod servers are listed on JoinGG, and 303 of them answered the last status query. The other 48 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.
Why is this different from Steam's Garry's Mod player count?
They measure different populations. Steam counts everybody running Garry's Mod anywhere right now — official matchmaking, single-player, community servers and idle menus — and reports 15,643. We count people connected to the 303 Garry's Mod servers we reached, which is 1,508. Neither figure is a subset of the other that we can compute, so both are printed and neither is divided by the other.
How is this counted?
Every figure on this page was measured by JoinGG. We ask all 351 Garry's Mod 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 Garry's Mod 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.
