How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Evolved

We estimate that about 89,000 people play Ark: Survival Evolved on a typical day (most likely between 64,000 and 120,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 10,000,000 accounts (between 8,000,000 and 13,000,000) 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.

Hytale

We estimate that about 8,500 people play Hytale on a typical day (most likely between 2,000 and 25,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 870,000 accounts (between 300,000 and 2,000,000) have played it at some point. Hytale publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from 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.
