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 130,000 and 380,000), based on data from Nov 13, 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.

H1Z1

We estimate that about 5,700 people play H1Z1 on a typical day (most likely between 1,300 and 17,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 550,000 accounts (between 190,000 and 1,300,000) have played it at some point. H1Z1 publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
