How these estimates are made

4Story Online

4Story Online is estimated to have 22 – 10k players a day. Around 9k – 930k accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.

Pixel Starships

Pixel Starships is estimated to have 430 – 2k players a day. Around 72k – 180k accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.
