I would like to know what platform you play on to have a rough estimate of the total number of players. I hope that in the future this will be manifested in the game interface to see the total number of players online.
- Steam
- XBOX Game Pass

It’s a couple months old data, but the ratio should still be the same for AoE3:DE.

The AOE-4 chart is interesting. Approximately 30% play on the Microsoft platform, so it cannot be assumed that few people play it just by looking at Steam statistics.

Why do they prefer Steam and not the Microsoft platform to play?
I think that, for a game at 60€$, it’s more advantageous to take it with the game pass.
But yes, good point about that. On discord people are celebrating that AoE3 is doing as well as AoE4, but only counting steam stats. So that’s not entirely true.

The collection of the original AoE3 was on steam. I don’t see why I would change platforms for the Definitive edition 
both platforms i play on.
