How these estimates are made

Ale & Axes

Ale & Axes is estimated to have 2 – 800 players a day. Around 1k – 130k 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.

Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2 is estimated to have 44k – 160k players a day. Around 3m – 7m 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.
