How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Ascended

We estimate that about 270,000 people play Ark: Survival Ascended on a typical day (most likely between 160,000 and 450,000), based on data from Nov 8, 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.

Phantom Galaxies

We estimate that about 600 people play Phantom Galaxies on a typical day (most likely between 140 and 1,800), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 110,000 accounts (between 38,000 and 260,000) have played it at some point. Phantom Galaxies 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.
