How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Ascended

We estimate that about 210,000 people play Ark: Survival Ascended on a typical day (most likely between 130,000 and 360,000), based on data from Nov 12, 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.

Shattered Skies

We estimate that about 240 people play Shattered Skies on a typical day (most likely between 56 and 720), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 53,000 accounts (between 18,000 and 120,000) have played it at some point. Shattered Skies 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.
