How these estimates are made

Champions Online

We estimate that about 700 people play Champions Online on a typical day (most likely between 500 and 980), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 160,000 accounts (between 120,000 and 200,000) 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.

Star Citizen

We estimate that about 11,000 people play Star Citizen on a typical day (most likely between 2,500 and 32,000), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 950,000 accounts (between 330,000 and 2,200,000) have played it at some point. Star Citizen 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.
