League of Legends has 8 million peak concurrent players in 2019

LoL is 10 years old and yet it continues to hold strong sway over the gaming industry. The official announcement refers to the eight million-strong concurrent daily player base as a testimony to the game’s strong foundations. Currently, League of Legends player numbers are higher than the Top Ten Steam Games combined. 

It is also important to note that these are global numbers and Riot Games has not released a breakdown according to individual regions. Riot’s eight million figure is calculated as League’s average daily PCU (peak concurrent users) for all Riot, Tencent, and Garena regions during August.

What can we expect from the 10th anniversary celebrations?

• Sneak peek into Pre-Season Changes for League of Legends
• First Look at TFT’s next big content update

In addition, Riot Games will celebrate League of Legends 10-year anniversary update on Oct. 15, 2019 via a special live-stream for League of Legends fans. The LoL anniversary celebrations will begin at 6 p.m. PST. 

To conclude, Riot Games will stream the 10 year anniversary celebrations on their official Twitch Channel. To accommodate fans from different time zones, Riot Games will rebroadcast the event throughout the day.
