Today, information regarding the online player numbers of two gaming leaders in the FPS shooter market, Valorant and CS2, has been released online. According to Trackergg and StreamCharts, Valorant reached a peak online player count of 4.1 million in the last 24 hours, which is nearly four times higher than CS2's 1.1 million.
Valorant continues to gain popularity, and this growth is particularly noticeable in recent months. In September 2023, the peak online player count in the game was 1.5 million, and in October, it had already risen to 1.6 million. Over the last 30 days, there has been an astonishing growth, with 4.1 million people playing daily.
Due to several distinguishing factors, Valorant has captured a larger audience than its main competitor. Firstly, the game is free-to-play, making it accessible to a wider audience. Secondly, Valorant has a more dynamic gameplay compared to CS2, attracting players who prefer a faster pace.
CS2 remains one of the most popular games in the world, but Valorant seems to be closing in on it. If the trend continues, Valorant may become the most popular first-person shooter in the future.
