How these estimates are made

Ace Online

Ace Online is estimated to have 4 – 2k players a day. Around 4k – 390k 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.

Runes of Magic

Runes of Magic is estimated to have 410 – 1k players a day. Around 41k – 100k 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.
