Second Life User Daily Concurrency – April 2024 Update

The current Second Life user daily concurrency remains flat still after four months into 2024. The Second Life user daily concurrency levels hasn’t really improved that much for the past 12 months. The Second Life user daily concurrency is now averaging between 27, 000 (min) – 51, 000 (max),

So far in 2024 the highest concurrency for Second Life was 53, 016 on 19th February 2024 and since then it’s not reached 54, 000 or 55, 000. It is unlikely that we will see the user daily concurrency for Second Life surpassing 55, 000 – 60, 000+ within the next 3+ months.

Second Life Grid Statistics – March 2024 Update

Here are the latest updated Second Life statistics as of 10th March 2024. These statistics are from the Second Life Grid Survey for reference. The focus is on Main Grid size, daily user concurrency and signups.

Main Grid Size – March 2024

Since the start of 2024 the Second Life grid size has actually shown positive net growth for Private Estates and Linden Owned regions. It’s good to see growth again in the overall grid statistics for Second Life during the past three months and I hope the positive growth trend continues.

Main Grid size as of 10th March 2024:

• Total Regions: 27, 901
• Private Estates: 18, 161
• Linden Owned: 9, 740

Main Grid size back on 7th January 2024:

• Total Regions: 27, 746
• Private Estates: 18, 112
• Linden Owned: 9, 634

Ownership Breakdown

• General: Total: 2, 489 / Linden Owned: 1, 570 / Private Estates: 919
• Moderate: Total: 17, 346 / Linden Owned: 7, 760 / Private Estates: 9, 586
• Adult: Total: 8, 061 / Linden Owned: 410 / Private Estates: 7, 651

• Total Area KM: 1828.52

Second Life Daily User Concurrency – March 2024

• Maximum Daily Concurrency: 46, 000 – 51, 000 (average)
• Median Daily Concurrency: 35, 000 – 42, 000 (average)
• Minimum Daily Concurrency: 27, 000 – 32, 000 (average)

It appears that the Second Life user daily concurrency is stable/flat at the moment. Yes it’s true that the levels haven’t improved much during the past few years. It is unlikely that we will see the user daily concurrency reaching 55, 000 or 60, 000+ in the next six months or so unless something major happens with a flow of new interest back again.

> March 2023 Second Life User Daily Concurrency Levels – 13th March 2023

• Maximum: 46, 000 to 52, 000 – (average)

Second Life Signups

• Total Residents/Signups – 67, 704, 498 as of 13th March 2024

I will blog more Second Life grid statistics in the months ahead on my blog. Stay tuned for all of that. Second Life is still growing at a steady rate but the daily concurrency is still flat with no big peaks happening so far in 2024.

Will things get better or get worse ? Comment below 🙂

Second Life User Daily Concurrency – January 2023 to December 2023

During 2023 the Second Life user daily concurrency started with highs of 53, 000 at peak then in the summer it reached around 50, 000 during peak times then towards the end of the year highs of 52, 000 at peak. It will be interesting to see if 2024 Second Life user daily concurrency levels compare with 2023 levels.

2020 – 2023

• Between March 2020 and May 2020 the daily average maximum Second Life user concurrency stayed around the 60, 000 mark during the pandemic. 
• During 2021 the average maximum peak was between 52, 000 to 57, 000.
• Back in early 2022 the daily concurrency was reaching 55, 000 for Second Life at peak times but it appears to have dropped down to 52k-53k during early/late 2023.

Highest 2023 Peak

The highest maximum daily concurrency peak was on 30th January 2023 with 53, 567 active online residents in Second Life. It did not surpass 54, 000 – 55, 000 during 2023 which is disappointing but maybe in 2024 it may reach this mark with Second Life mobile launching to the public or with more live music events. This could boost up the overall Second Life daily concurrency levels.

December 2023 user daily concurrency levels

• Maximum: 45, 000 – 52, 000 (average)
• Median: 35, 000 to 41, 000 – (average)
• Minimum: 28, 000 to 31, 000 – (average)

Maximum Peaks During 2023

• January 2023 – 53, 567 – 30th < Highest
• February 2023 – 53, 340 – 12th
• March 2023 – 53, 202 – 13th
• April 2023 – 52, 649 – 2nd
• May 2023 – 52, 916 – 1st
• June 2023 – 50, 678 – 26th
• July 2023 – 50, 641 – 17th
• August 2023 – 50, 559 – 14th
• September 2023 – 50, 337 – 18th
• October 2023 – 51, 449 – 8th
• November 2023 – 52, 139 – 27th
• December 2023 – 52, 057 – 11th

January 2024 user daily concurrency levels – As of 2nd January 2024

• Maximum: 46, 000 (average)
• Median: 36, 000 to 40, 000 – (average)
• Minimum: 29, 000 to 31, 000 – (average)

Overall the 2024 Second Life user daily concurrency is 29, 000 to 46, 000 as of 2nd January 2024 according to the Second Life grid survey economic metrics page. It’s low at the moment but hopefully the numbers will rise to more stable levels in the next week or so. It would be good to see maximum peaks of 55k – 57k again at some point during 2024.

I will post more Second Life user daily concurrency blog posts through 2024 on my blog.

Second Life User Daily Concurrency Levels During October 2023

During October 2023 the Second Life user daily concurrency averaged between 27. 000 (minimum) to 50, 500 (maximum). It’s slightly higher during October 2023 compared with September 2023.

October 2023 Second Life User Daily Concurrency Levels – As of 10th October 2023

• Maximum: 44, 000 to 50, 550 – (average)
• Median: 38, 000 to 42, 000 – (average)

November 2023 Latest Stats – As of 13th November 2023

• Maximum: 44, 000 to 50, 600 – (average)
• Median: 38, 000 to 41, 000 – (average)
• Minimum: 27, 000 to 29, 000 – (average)

It’s expected over the next three months the Second Life user daily concurrency will rise further as winter sets in. I predict the average will averaging between 29, 000 to 53, 000 soon.

• The highest peak for maximum Second Life user daily concurrency was 51, 449 recorded on 8th October 2023
• The highest peak for September 2023 was 50, 337 recorded on 18th September 2023
• The highest peak for August 2023 was 50, 559 recorded on 14th August 2023

As you can see the Second Life user daily concurrency has not reached the 52k or 55k in the past three months. The last time it surpassed 52k or 53k was during the first 5 months of 2023.

See the breakdown below of the maximum peaks for 2023 for Second Life user daily concurrency so far.

• January 2023 – 53, 567 – 30th < Highest
• February 2023 – 53, 340 – 12th

2022/2023 Averages For Max Peaks

• 55k (Jan 22 – March 22)
• 53k (April 22 – May 22)
• 51k (May 22- Jan 23) 2023
• 53k (Jan 23 – March 23)
• 52k (April 23 – May 23)
• 50k-51k (June 23 – October 23)

2024 The Year Ahead

Hopefully the Second Life daily user concurrency during 2024 will increase slightly and not decline further below the 50k mark. It would be good to see new high peaks again but there needs to be more excitement/more investment again for Second Life for this to happen. Second Life is going mobile soon (Q4 2023 / Q1 2024) so it will be interesting to see what happens with the daily user concurrency when it launches to the public.

• What are your predictions for 2024 for Second Life daily user concurrency ?

Second Life User Daily Concurrency Levels During September 2023

During September 2023 the Second Life user daily concurrency averaged between 27, 000 (min) to 49, 000 (max). The highest peak for the maximum daily concurrency was 50, 337 recorded on 18th September 2023. The highest peak for August 2023 was 50, 559 recorded on 14th August 2023.

The median daily average for September 2023 averaged was between 35, 000 to 38, 000. The mean daily average for September 2023 was between 35, 000 to 39, 000. The minimum daily concurrency through September 2023 averaged from 27, 000 to 30, 600.

It’s estimated the Second Life daily concurrency numbers should start going up as we head into the autumn/winter months ahead especially around Christmas/new year period. During 2023 so far the daily concurrency has not really surpassed the 55, 000 mark and has remained pretty flat all year with no huge peaks that are noticeable.

2023

This year it’s reaching the 50, 000 mark but not as much as it used to be in previous years. At the start of 2023 it averaged 53, 000 at peak times until the summer months where it’s averaging around the 49, 000 mark at peak times. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues for the rest of 2023 into 2024.
