How these estimates are made

Citadel: Forged With Fire

We estimate that about 130 people play Citadel: Forged With Fire on a typical day (most likely between 29 and 370), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 180,000 accounts (between 140,000 and 230,000) have played it at some point. Citadel: Forged With Fire is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Elite: Dangerous

We estimate that about 54,000 people play Elite: Dangerous on a typical day (most likely between 32,000 and 91,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 3,500,000 accounts (between 2,300,000 and 5,300,000) 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.
