How these estimates are made

Ark: Survival of the Fittest

We estimate that about 10,000 people play Ark: Survival of the Fittest on a typical day (most likely between 2,300 and 30,000), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 1,400,000 accounts (between 470,000 and 3,200,000) have played it at some point. Ark: Survival of the Fittest is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Deadside

We estimate that about 3,600 people play Deadside on a typical day (most likely between 2,600 and 5,000), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 920,000 accounts (between 720,000 and 1,200,000) 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.
