How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Evolved

Ark: Survival Evolved is estimated to have 40k – 140k players a day. Around 8m – 21m accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.

Battle of Castles

Battle of Castles is estimated to have 0 – 64 players a day. Around 170 – 22k accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.
