EVE Online Sees Highest PCU Since December 2017

Yesterday's PCU was 40,293 accounts - EVE-Offline.net

I had to record the event before I forgot. Yesterday, EVE Online's Tranquility shard had 40,293 accounts logged on at its peak at 18:56:12. A number well down from EVE's heyday when the PCU would regularly reach 50,000 accounts every Sunday. But a number not seen in almost 2 1/2 years.

The last time PCU exceeded 40,000

Looking back on EVE-Offline.net, the last date the PCU reached the 40,000 mark was on 10 December 2017, when the number reached 40,973.

The numbers are probably a bit inflated due to the COVID-19 pandemic keeping everyone inside and at home. Which means that once all the stay-at-home orders are lifted, we'll get to see how well CCP's recent efforts to keep players engaged and active work. Expect lots of charts and graphs from CCP sometime later this year.
