These are the latest Second Life grid statistics as of 2nd July 2023 via the Second Life Grid Survey which tracks the current economic stats of Second Life. There are four areas of focus here from the size of the Main Grid, the daily user concurrency levels, signups and website traffic on the Second Life website.
Main Grid Size
Since my last report back in late March 2023 there has been positive net growth in Private Estates and Linden Owned regions which is really good news. The main grid of Second Life has been steadily been growing since the start of 2023. See below for the growth of regions so far.
Most of the growth since March 2023 has come from Linden Owned regions relating to the expansion of the Bellisseria continent in Second Life. There have been a big increase in new regions mainly Newbrooke and Sakura regions since March. Within the past week more Ranch regions have been added and more are due to arrive soon.
Private Estates are growly again but slowly at the moment. It’s dropped slightly since the start of 2023 but hopefully growth will return again soon. I think the lab needs to come up with ways to get the interest back for owning private estates.
It appears for the amount of Private Estates that are going offline the lab adds more Linden Owned regions. More Linden Owned regions are coming at some point. K
Last month Tyche Shepherd reported positive net growth in private regions. Second Life is still growing after 20 years being online. Hopefully the growth trend will continue for the rest of 2023/2024.

Daily Second Life User Concurrency Levels
Since my past report back in March 2023 it appears there has been a slight decline in the daily Second Life user concurrency levels. I think this is mostly due to the summer season which follows the annual patterns. It’s expected the Second Life user daily concurrency levels will pick up again in the autumn winter months.
I don’t think there will be any major record breaking maximum peaks until the end of 2023. I think once Second Life Mobile goes public sometime in 2024 there could be positive new peaks happening.
