How many people play MTG?
It's hard to land an exact number because Wizards of the Coast (the creators of MTG) don't release official player counts. However, it's widely estimated that there are over 35 million Magic The Gathering players worldwide. Considering the game's global reach and the fact it's been around since 1993, that number seems about right. MTG's player base spans across the physical game, as well as the digital version, Magic The Gathering Arena.

Around 35 million, give or take a few. But honestly, between you and me, every other day someone discovers their dad's old card collection in the attic or gets suckered into a game by a friend. So, it's probably more by now.
A lot! Like, seriously, millions of people. Last I checked, estimates were around 35 million globally. And that's not counting the folks who casually play without officially getting counted somewhere. MTG's pretty much everywhere - local game shops, international tournaments, and even online.
