Left 4 Dead 2 remains popular today, despite being released nearly 14 years ago. While exact numbers may fluctuate, Left 4 Dead 2 consistently maintains a healthy online community. It regularly sees several thousand concurrent players on Steam, and can swell into the tens of thousands during peak hours. According to Steam Charts, L4D2's 24-hour peak had 44,811 players, ahead of Starfield's 14,863 and Diablo 4's 24-hour peak of 11,138.
Left 4 Dead 2’s core co-op zombie-slaying action is addictive, and even its spiritual successor, Back 4 Blood, can’t quite reach its player count. The game’s dynamic AI director keeps every playthrough fresh, the four original campaigns are still incredibly fun, and a huge amount of user-generated content adds even more replayability.
Left 4 Dead 2 has a lot of mods that have kept the game interesting even after years. They allowed players to create and experience new maps, campaigns, game modes, and even graphical upgrades. Mods are one of the reasons why the game still appeals to a wide range of players and their preferences.
