Having been in active service for over a decade, Elder Scrolls Online remains a comprehensive MMORPG, but does it maintain its popularity in 2024? We explore the current player engagement in Elder Scrolls Online.
The trajectory of MMORPGs can shift from extremely popular to nearly forgotten, yet Elder Scrolls Online has managed to stay relevant. Ongoing updates, fresh classes, and regular expansions contribute to its sustained presence in the realm of open-world gaming.
So, how many people are actually playing Elder Scrolls Online in November 2024? We’ve got an estimate of the monthly and daily count, including where it sits against similar MMOs like Guild Wars 2, Destiny 2, and World of Warcraft.
Monthly player count
Thanks to Activeplayer.io, which is solely an estimate, we can see that in the last 30 days, an average of 2,989,006 players logged into Elder Scrolls Online. This is a slightly lower figure than the previous 30 days.
Daily player count
According to MMO Population, which is again an estimate based on subscribers, we can see that around 32,532 players log into Elder Scrolls Online per day, with a total player base of 24,460,296, an increase of around 60,000 subscribers over the last 30 days.

Population compared to competitors
So, while those numbers prove Elder Scrolls Online is anything but a dying MMO, it’s still best to look at the game’s performance based on other popular MMOs.
So, here’s ESO’s total player count compared to other similar games as of November 3.
| MMORPG | Total Player Count (Millions) |
|---|---|
| Elder Scrolls Online | 24.46 |
| Diablo IV | 65.42 |
| FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn | 63.10 |
| Old School RuneScape | 58.02 |
| World of Warcraft | 154.73 |
Unsurprisingly, World of Warcraft leads the charge with total active players by a large margin, continuing to be the most-subscribed-to MMO. ZeniMax’s multiplayer Elder Scrolls experience falls short of other competitors like Final Fantasy XIV and Diablo IV, too, but it’s worth noting that player counts have continued to remain stable throughout 2024, even trending upwards, if only slightly.
That’s the Elder Scrolls Online population and player count for November 2024. You can also check out the active player count of Valorant, Apex Legends and World of Warcraft.
