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.

Runescape

We estimate that about 97,000 people play Runescape on a typical day (most likely between 57,000 and 160,000), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 3,800,000 accounts (between 2,500,000 and 5,800,000) 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.
