In April 2024, the number of players in Dota 2 significantly increased, surpassing 450,000 users on average across the network. According to Steam Charts data, in April 2024, the average monthly player count in Dota 2 increased by approximately 6.5%, once again exceeding 450,000 people.
Additionally, there was a noticeable increase in the peak number of players in the game: from 729,000 to 921,000 people. This surge deserves attention, although it still doesn't reach the historical peak of Dota 2 - almost 1.3 million players, recorded in March 2016.
In the recent update named "Misty Crown," developers added a new narrative event featuring Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit, as well as new Arcanas for these heroes. This enriched the game's content and likely contributed to the growth in the number of players.
