I don’t have real-time data or updates directly from Grinding Gear Games (GGG) about the current status of league populations in Path of Exile (PoE). However, there are general trends and indicators that the community uses to gauge the health and popularity of a league a few weeks after its launch:
Steam Charts: One accessible metric is to look at PoE’s player numbers on Steam using Steam Charts. This can give a rough idea of peak and average concurrent players, though it doesn’t account for players using the standalone client.
Forum Activity: The official PoE forums can also be a good indicator of how active the league is. High levels of posting activity, especially in the league-specific forums, can suggest a healthy engagement.
Social Media and Streaming Platforms: Checking platforms like Reddit, Twitch, and YouTube can also provide insights. High levels of content creation and discussion generally indicate a high level of interest and participation in the current league.
Trade Activity: The amount of trading activity on sites like PoE Trade or the official trade site can also indicate how many players are actively engaging with the economy, which is often reflective of the overall player base.
If you’re looking for detailed and up-to-date statistics on league populations, these sources can provide some context, though they might not offer the complete picture. GGG occasionally releases specific data or comments on the success of a league during developer interviews or in their news updates, so keeping an eye on official communications can be valuable as well.
