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 13, 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.

Silkroad Online

We estimate that about 340 people play Silkroad Online on a typical day (most likely between 78 and 1,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 89,000 accounts (between 30,000 and 210,000) have played it at some point. Silkroad Online 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.
