Wild Rift in 2025: Millions Still Battle on the Go, But Growth Slows

Updated: 23rd May 2025 2 min read

Since its electrifying debut in 2020, League of Legends: Wild Rift has carved out a significant slice of the mobile gaming pie, drawing in a global legion of players. As 2025 unfolds, the question on many minds is: just how many people are still actively duking it out on the mobile Rift? The numbers reveal a robust, though maturing, player base that continues to make Wild Rift a dominant force in the mobile MOBA arena.

Millions Strong: Monthly and Daily Engagement

Industry tracking platforms estimate that Wild Rift maintains a substantial monthly active player base. As of January 2025, the game recorded approximately 12.4 million monthly active players. While this figure marks a slight dip from previous months—December 2024 saw around 13 million monthly players—it unequivocally demonstrates the game’s enduring popularity and considerable reach.

Daily engagement paints a similar picture of a dedicated core audience. Recent data indicates that over 300,000 players log in each day to participate in the fast-paced mobile battles. Though this is a decrease from the December 2024 peak of nearly 366,000 daily players, it underscores the consistent and engaged community that forms the backbone of Wild Rift.

Global Reach and Regional Hotspots

Wild Rift’s global footprint is particularly pronounced in mobile-first regions. Countries across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Brazil have embraced the game with fervor, with local servers and dedicated tournaments playing a crucial role in sustaining high levels of interest.

In contrast, adoption in North America and Europe has been a slower but steady burn, often attracting younger players or those who prefer mobile gaming due to a lack of access to high-end PCs for the original League of Legends.

Growth, Stagnation, and Riot’s Response

While Wild Rift experienced explosive growth in its initial years, surpassing 55 million downloads and generating over $750 million in revenue by late 2022, the player base has recently shown signs of stagnation.

This trend has been acknowledged by Riot Games, the developers behind both Wild Rift and its PC counterpart. Riot has openly expressed a commitment to expanding the community and introducing new features to both retain existing players and entice new ones.

For context, the original League of Legends on PC continues to dwarf Wild Rift in terms of sheer player numbers. Estimates for the PC version in 2025 range from a staggering 120 to 145 million monthly active users. However, Wild Rift’s tens of millions of monthly players still firmly position it among the most successful mobile MOBAs globally, a testament to its compelling gameplay and accessible platform.

The Road Ahead: Sustaining Mobile Momentum

As of early 2025, League of Legends: Wild Rift confidently boasts around 12 to 13 million monthly active players and over 300,000 daily active users. While its initial meteoric growth has naturally leveled off, the game remains a powerhouse in the mobile gaming world, especially in regions where mobile gaming is king.

Riot Games’ ongoing efforts to innovate and actively engage with its community will undoubtedly be crucial in sustaining and potentially growing these impressive numbers in the years to come, ensuring the mobile Rift remains a vibrant battleground for millions.
