This data doesn't include the players who access through the official Square Enix launcher for the game or from PS4 and PS5 systems. On December 4th, when the early access to Endwalker was available it recorded 90k active players in Steam (the previous record was 67k in July 2021).

The game has already broken its own record of active players on Steam. Each of them has been praised for new additions in terms of plot, classes and mechanics. And now, in December 2021, the game has received Endwalker - a fourth major expansion. Since then the game has gone from strength to strength (and its community keeps growing) with several post-release updates and four major expansion packs that have improved the game experience: Heavensward in 2015, Stormblood in 2017 and Shadowbringers in 2019. The game originally launched in 2010 but after an initial negative response from both players and critics, its servers were closed in 2012 and the game was relaunched as a Realm Reborn in 2013 with Naoki Yoshida as producer and director. An installment that has achieved the milestone of becoming a solid title and has taken its rightful place along with the best single-player games of the Final Fantasy franchise thanks to its storytelling, its combat system, its well-crafted universe full of references and easter eggs, and the transparency showed by its developers. Final Fantasy XIV is, currently, one of the most popular and beloved MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) titles.
