There isn’t a clean, official headcount for “people playing” either game across all platforms, but the best public estimate I found puts Path of Exile 2 at about 511,186 players today and Diablo IV at about 285,245 players today , so PoE2 is ahead in that snapshot.

What that means

That comparison comes from a third-party activity tracker, not publisher- reported active users, so treat it as a rough estimate rather than a definitive census. The same source also shows a much larger last reported month for PoE2 than Diablo IV, which suggests PoE2 had the stronger recent player activity at the time of the data.

Why numbers vary

Different sites count different things: some track Steam only, some estimate across all platforms, and some model activity from public signals. That’s why you’ll see forum posts and trackers disagreeing by a lot, especially for games on PC, console, and launch-window spikes.

Quick read

  • Current estimate: PoE2 > Diablo IV.
  • Confidence: moderate, because the source is third-party and not official.
  • Best use: good for a broad popularity snapshot, not exact concurrent players.

If you want the cleanest comparison, I can turn this into a simple table with current estimate, monthly estimate, and source quality.
