How these estimates are made

Cross Gate

Cross Gate is estimated to have 10 – 5k players a day. Around 10k – 930k 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.

Realm of the Mad God

Realm of the Mad God is estimated to have 5k – 18k players a day. Around 750k – 2m 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.
