How this chart works
This is a 100%-stacked comparison: each country sums to 100% and shows the share of multiplayer versus singleplayer. Filters (Region, Platform, Edition, Time Window) change the sample; the example reflects Global, all platforms, 30-day window.
Scenario: Max plans a server
Max targets countries with higher multiplayer share to boost player density at launch times and chooses Bedrock-friendly regions when mobile usage dominates.

Why some countries play more multiplayer
Multiplayer share rises where creators run public SMPs, latency is low between major hubs, and platform access is social (console or mobile friends lists). Countries with higher singleplayer share often have fragmented server scenes, higher latency to popular regions, or a strong solo-building culture.
| Region | Median MP% | Top country | Lowest country | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global | 43% 🟩 | Brazil 51% 🏆 | China 30% ⬇️ | Wide spread; creator clusters drive peaks |
| Americas | 46% 🟩 | Brazil 51% 🥇 | Mexico 46% ➜ | Cross-time-zone events boost MP |
| EMEA | 41% 🟩 | UK 45% 🔼 | Russia 39% 🔽 | Strong Java/PC servers; language silos |
| APAC | 38% 🟩 | South Korea 40% 🔼 | China 30% 🔽 | Console/mobile tilt in JP/CN lowers MP |
Boost multiplayer where it matters
Target regions with MP above the median and schedule events in their prime time. Mirror servers (EU/NA) to cut ping and advertise Bedrock access if mobile share is high.
Platform and edition impact on multiplayer share
Edition and device strongly shape how social players are. Java on PC favors long-running modded servers; Bedrock on console/mobile pushes quick-join realms and friend-list sessions. Use the matrix to decide which access paths to prioritize.
| Edition | PC | Console | Mobile | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Java | 48% 🟩 | 42% 🟩 | — | PC servers, mods and SMPs dominate |
| Bedrock | 45% 🟩 | 44% 🟩 | 47% 🟩 | Friend lists, realms and cross-play push MP |
Remember: share ≠ size
A country with 48% multiplayer but small MAU may have fewer total MP players than a 38% country with huge MAU. Always check density and MAU before committing servers.
Time windows and trend reading
Shares can shift between 30/90/365-day windows when school holidays, big creator series or updates land. A rising MP% across windows usually signals growing server opportunities; a flat line means maintain rather than expand.
