How we count
- Players in matches = matches in the last 24 hours × average match length ÷ 24 hours × 12 players. It's the number of people inside a game at an average moment of the day; peaks run higher and quiet hours lower.
- Steam's public player-count API doesn't return numbers for Deadlock (we checked), so for Steam's live concurrent count use SteamDB.
- Match data comes from deadlock-api.com, which tracks public matches. Want to know who's winning in all those games? See the tier list.
