How these estimates are made

Adoption

We estimate that about 69 people play Adoption on a typical day (most likely between 16 and 210), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 21,000 accounts (between 16,000 and 27,000) have played it at some point. Adoption is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Artifact

We estimate that about 50,000 people play Artifact on a typical day (most likely between 36,000 and 69,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 690,000 accounts (between 540,000 and 880,000) 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.
