How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Ascended

We estimate that about 230,000 people play Ark: Survival Ascended on a typical day (most likely between 140,000 and 400,000), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 4,400,000 accounts (between 2,900,000 and 6,700,000) 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.

Dual Universe

We estimate that about 630 people play Dual Universe on a typical day (most likely between 140 and 1,900), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 130,000 accounts (between 46,000 and 310,000) have played it at some point. Dual Universe 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.
