Stadia game leaderboard growth in 2021

Sep 20, 2021

Stadia does not publish player numbers, so it is not directly measurable to what extent the platform is growing. Therefore, to get at least an estimate of the current situation, one has to use external tools.

A good source of various Stadia- and community-related metrics over time is the website https://stadiastats.jdeslip.com. Among many other things, many Stadia game leaderboards are regularly tracked here.

Leaderboard data has been extracted via CSV export, processed and normalized to January 1st, 2021. Games that have not been published or tracked at this time (e.g. Madden, FIFA, Olympic Games Tokyo) have been excluded. The remaining 13 games have a combined total of over 600.000 leaderboard entries, with Sniper Elite 4 in the lead featuring over 230.000 leaderboard entries alone.

The above plot shows the relative growth curves for these 13 Stadia game leaderboards: On average, the tracked leaderboards grew by +54% (standard deviation ±29%) since January 2021.

Noteworthy is the strong presence of non-Pro titles such as The Crew 2 (+116%, +87%), Ghost Recon Breakpoint (+81%), Rise of the Tomb Raider (+70%) and DOOM (+65%).

Last but not least, many thanks to Jack Deslippe for the consistent tracking and providing of this immensely helpful dataset!

Have fun with the Data!
