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 14, 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.

War Thunder

We estimate that about 1,200,000 people play War Thunder on a typical day (most likely between 690,000 and 2,000,000), based on data from Nov 14, 2026. Around 29,000,000 accounts (between 19,000,000 and 44,000,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
