How these estimates are made

Blade & Soul

We estimate that about 1,400 people play Blade & Soul on a typical day (most likely between 330 and 4,300), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 320,000 accounts (between 110,000 and 730,000) have played it at some point. Blade & Soul 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.

Runes of Magic

We estimate that about 770 people play Runes of Magic on a typical day (most likely between 550 and 1,100), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 66,000 accounts (between 51,000 and 84,000) 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.
