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.

NextWorld2

We estimate that about 790 people play NextWorld2 on a typical day (most likely between 180 and 2,300), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 120,000 accounts (between 40,000 and 270,000) have played it at some point. NextWorld2 publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
