How PAYDAY 2 is doing right now

PAYDAY 2 currently has 34,155 players online, based on a reading we collected 13 minutes ago. That is +7.4% higher compared with the same time yesterday. Over the past 24 hours the count moved between 25,895 and 34,947 concurrent players. The seven-day peak is 35,316. The highest count in our records is 35,352, reached on August 28, 2026. The current figure is 97% of that peak. Player counts follow a strong daily and weekly cycle, so compare the same hour across different days rather than two readings taken hours apart. Steam recalculates its concurrent player figure about every 15 minutes, while we collect this game every 15 minutes, so the timestamp above is when we collected the number, not when Valve computed it. We have been recording PAYDAY 2 since August 17, 2026 and refresh this page every 15 minutes.
