How many people are actually playing on PC?

This is a wonderful game with great gameplay and a fun atmosphere. It is a shame that the only game mode with people playing is Turf Takeover on PC. I'd like to experience some of the other gamemodes that the game has to offer with people around the world, but it seems as if there simply are not enough people playing the game in order for that to happen. It's a shame, I was wondering if there was an actual counter that showed how many people are playing the game similar to what steamdb does.

  • I don't play Garden Warfare on PC though I kinda want to. I haven't tried to use a mouse with my Ps4 yet but I think with a mouse I'd be unstoppable. However, I would like to say that most of the time when I do anything that isn't Turf Takeover, it's pretty tough to get a full game. I don't get much luck finding entirely full Gnome Bomb games which is really upsetting to me. I feel though that maybe I'm just not trying at the right times? Maybe there's a peak time when players who like Gnome Bomb play on Ps4. Can get full Team Vanquish games. Half full Vanquish confirmed.

    I don't usually do the mix mode. I think Turf Takeover is really just that big "Pick up and play" sorta thing. It might be the same deal for PC -- But I know most of the PC community is really close knit, so finding a group of people who play it might work in your favor because that might be where everyone is at. I'm just not sure! /discussion

    PC, NA east. Play a little or more pretty much everyday. My one friend joins me most of the time too, we work on the quests every time they pop up but also some regular matches, help on the community challenges, and participate in the portal events.

    As I've posted elsewhere I have no issue getting into an MP turf takeover match and mixed mode can pop pretty fast too. Other modes are not as active but that was same in GW1.

    I wish I could play with some of you on US server. But it seems the ping will be pretty higher for me ☹️

    There are plenty of players on PC.  You just have to know what times for regions.  Euro for example is heavily populated between  4AM-12PM EST.  Here is some mixed mode I did this morning:

  • Totally agree with how frustrating it is to only find Turf games when you want variety sometimes. I am PC and N America. It's a shame the old faves like VC and Sub are never played. I sometimes get lucky with Mixed on European servers but you have to catch folks at the right time of day due to the time difference. Hang in there.

    I never have a problem getting into a Turf when I get home from work.
    I usually start playing around 17:30. Mix Mode is usually hard to get into, but when you finally do its often not a problem sticking to it.
    Early in the weekends it not the same though. Not many ppl playing...strange though.

    I also jumped on GW1 a bit over the weekend. I found like GW2 G&G (there is no TT in GW1 since only zombies attack in GW1) was fairly easy to get a game but no other modes, not even mixed mode were popping much. TT has been my favorite mode since starting GW1 but I do like mixed mode since you get to still play some TT matches, get to try other modes, and you get to see maps that are not available in TT mode.

    Team Vanquish did pop in GW1 as well and I got to play on Port Scallywag, Garden Center, and Chomp Town. I miss all these old maps so was nice to see them.

    Had no issues getting some MP games on GW2 and even jumping into open Ops over the weekend and I see new names all the time although I notice a much lower average rank in GW2 than I'm used to in GW1. Yes GW1 is older but there seem to be a lot of very low level players in GW2 even taking that into account. Still it bodes well for the events that I keep seeing people playing!
