How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival Evolved

Ark: Survival Evolved is estimated to have 58k – 200k 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.

Silkroad Online

Silkroad Online is estimated to have 30 – 14k players a day. Around 14k – 1m 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.
