How these estimates are made
Ark II
Ark II is estimated to have 330 – 150k players a day. Around 91k – 9m 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.
Ark: Survival Ascended
Ark: Survival Ascended is estimated to have 55k – 190k players a day. Around 2m – 4m 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.
