How these estimates are made

Black Desert Online

We estimate that about 310,000 people play Black Desert Online on a typical day (most likely between 180,000 and 520,000), based on data from Nov 11, 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.

Pixelmon

We estimate that about 4,400 people play Pixelmon on a typical day (most likely between 1,000 and 13,000), based on data from Nov 11, 2026. Around 500,000 accounts (between 170,000 and 1,100,000) have played it at some point. Pixelmon 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.
