How these estimates are made

Black Desert Online

We estimate that about 320,000 people play Black Desert Online on a typical day (most likely between 190,000 and 530,000), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 5,000,000 accounts (between 3,300,000 and 7,600,000) 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.

Bladebound

We estimate that about 770 people play Bladebound on a typical day (most likely between 180 and 2,300), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 89,000 accounts (between 31,000 and 210,000) have played it at some point. Bladebound 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.
