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 6, 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.

Second Galaxy

We estimate that about 310 people play Second Galaxy on a typical day (most likely between 71 and 920), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 83,000 accounts (between 41,000 and 190,000) have played it at some point. Second Galaxy 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: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
