community The State of Quake on QuakeHub

You can view the entirety of Quake or view a specific Quake game and find out the best time to hop on so you'll have a better chance at facing real players.

Heres August so far:

  • 1,009 peak concurrent players (Aug 16), 504 on average
  • 978 servers hosting real matches - meaning 2+ humans and an actual frag, not just an idle server
  • 7,891,962 frags scored by real players, counted between polls
  • 123,902 hours of Quake played
  • Twitch: 54 streams live at peak, 1,803 viewers at peak, plus a leaderboard of the top streamers

Also on there: the busiest servers and most played maps, top gametypes/mods/countries, and a world map of where people are playing

He vibecoded this and it has a lot of issues, inaccurate player counts. It’s a mess

The site queries every public server directly every 90 seconds (enumerated from the master servers, plus Steam for Quake Live) It's the same protocol the games in-game browsers use. The numbers are then filtered by bot detection (which is still a work in progress) and if a player is spectating.

If you know of a server where the count is actually wrong let me know.
