How these estimates are made

Airmen

We estimate that about 72 people play Airmen on a typical day (most likely between 17 and 210), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 25,000 accounts (between 13,000 and 59,000) have played it at some point. Airmen 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: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

Elite: Dangerous

We estimate that about 48,000 people play Elite: Dangerous on a typical day (most likely between 28,000 and 81,000), based on data from Nov 13, 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.
