How these estimates are made

Black Desert

Black Desert is estimated to have 57k – 200k players a day. Around 1m – 3m accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.

Elemental Kingdom

Elemental Kingdom is estimated to have 3 – 2k players a day. Around 3k – 250k accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.
