# Is Star Trek Online still active?

**Yes.** Star Trek Online is still active in 2026. Players continue to log in every day, Steam has a measurable live population, and official Star Trek Online updates are still being published.

## Is Star Trek Online still active in 2026?

**Yes. STO is still online, still populated and still receiving official updates.**

Players continue to log in every day. GamesBeat reported in February 2026 that **tens of thousands** of people were logging in daily, while Arc Games and Cryptic Studios continue to publish official STO news and updates.

Sources: [Official STO News](https://www.playstartrekonline.com/en/news) · [GamesBeat — 17 February 2026](https://gamesbeat.com/star-trek-online-releases-corruption-seasonal-update-on-the-mmos-16th-anniversary/)

The HTML version of this page also displays Valve's official live Steam concurrent-player count.

## Do people still play Star Trek Online?

Yes. Steam provides a live concurrent-player count, but Steam is only one part of the STO population. Arc and Epic PC players, PlayStation players and Xbox players are not included in Valve's Steam count.

Arc Games separately said in January 2026 that STO had drawn **more than 7.7 million players since launch**. That is a lifetime figure, not the number playing today.

Full population breakdown: [How many people play Star Trek Online?](https://ptfarmada.com/answers/star-trek-online-player-count/) · [Arc Games — 7.7m+ since launch](https://www.arcgames.com/news/11579658)

## Is Star Trek Online still being updated?

Yes. Official Star Trek Online updates are still being published. The rolling [Star Trek Online News](https://www.playstartrekonline.com/en/news) page is the best current source because it changes as new game releases and updates are published.

**Bottom line:** Star Trek Online is still active in 2026 — people are playing it, and Cryptic is still updating it.
