FF14 player count reached the lowest point in 4 years. We lost 75% of the playerbase.

[NightHour]

The last month in which the player count was below 17100 was January 2021, which was Patch 5.45.



LuckyBancho confirms these numbers.



We haven't even gotten to the second patch and we already lost 75% of our playerbase.



But I guess those $5 Hilda hairstyles will single-handedly save this game.

While the player base is smaller, it's no where near 75%.



Steam does NOT and has never accounted for the majority of players.




Most players either use consoles or the official launcher.


"omg playerbase is down 75%" and producing statistics for the minority platform is just being ignorant.



Population increases and decreases are nothing more than the natural course of MMO's.

We're not in 2010 anymore when MMO's were the cool thing to play.
