How these estimates are made
Age of Ascent
We estimate that about 35 people play Age of Ascent on a typical day (most likely between 8 and 100), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 9,700 accounts (between 3,300 and 22,000) have played it at some point. Age of Ascent 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.
Elite: Dangerous
We estimate that about 60,000 people play Elite: Dangerous on a typical day (most likely between 35,000 and 100,000), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 3,500,000 accounts (between 2,300,000 and 5,300,000) 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.
