Our numbers, live
We're building the biggest rugby league management game there has been.
That is a claim, so here is how to check it: what the record is, how we count, and where we are right now. We will not call ourselves the biggest until these numbers say so.
Figures read from our server when you opened this page: just now. A dash means that counter is not switched on yet.
The record to beat
| Game | What it is | Most playing at once | Owners (estimates) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rugby League Team Manager 3 | PC management game | 24 to 26 | Not published |
| Rugby League Team Manager 4 | PC management game, 2025 | 14 | 270 to 1,400 |
| Rugby League Director | Browser and phone, alpha | — | — on the list |
Sources: SteamCharts and SteamPlayerCount for Team Manager 3; SteamDB for Team Manager 4, whose owner range spans three independent trackers. Checked 9 November 2026. Console action games such as Rugby League 26 are a different genre and are not counted here. Titles from before public player tracking have no figures we can verify, so we do not claim to have beaten them.
How we count
- Coaches on the list is the number of confirmed email sign-ups, one per address. Duplicates and bot sign-ups are rejected by the server and never counted.
- Most online at once is the highest number of signed-in coaches connected in the same minute. Passing 26 beats the best documented peak in the genre.
- Matches simulated counts every match the engine has played to full time for a human coach.
- When we pass a record we will publish the date and the figure here, and keep the old ones visible.
Help us get there
Every coach on the list moves the first number. Bring the people you would want in your league.
