How these estimates are made

A Tale in the Desert

A Tale in the Desert is estimated to have 1 – 470 players a day. Around 1k – 110k 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.

APB Reloaded

APB Reloaded is estimated to have 660 – 2k players a day. Around 610k – 2m 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.
