# playerIDs

The player identifiers for remote players in the match.

```
var playerIDs: [String]? { get }
```

## Discussion

The `playerIDs` property initially includes the player identifiers for any remote players already connected to the match; the array may initially be empty. As each new player connects to the match, GameKit adds the player’s identifier to the array. GameKit doesn’t include the local player’s identifier in this array.

## See Also

[`expectedPlayerCount`](/documentation/GameKit/GKMatch/expectedPlayerCount)

The remaining number of players invited but not yet connected to the match.
