How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Evolved

Ark: Survival Evolved is estimated to have 50k – 180k 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.
