How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Evolved

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.
