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 390,000), based on data from Nov 10, 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.

NuclearCraft

We estimate that about 370 people play NuclearCraft on a typical day (most likely between 86 and 1,100), based on data from Nov 10, 2026. Around 79,000 accounts (between 27,000 and 180,000) have played it at some point. NuclearCraft publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from 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.
