How these estimates are made

AQ First Contact

AQ First Contact is estimated to have 1 – 530 players a day. Around 1k – 100k 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.

Phantasy Star Online 2

Phantasy Star Online 2 is estimated to have 2k – 8k players a day. Around 430k – 1m 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.
