How these estimates are made

A Tale in the Desert

We estimate that about 29 people play A Tale in the Desert on a typical day (most likely between 7 and 86), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 13,000 accounts (between 4,500 and 30,000) have played it at some point. A Tale in the Desert publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Somnium Space VR

We estimate that about 220 people play Somnium Space VR on a typical day (most likely between 52 and 660), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 59,000 accounts (between 20,000 and 140,000) have played it at some point. Somnium Space VR publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
