How these estimates are made

Dark Ages

We estimate that about 270 people play Dark Ages on a typical day (most likely between 62 and 800), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 71,000 accounts (between 24,000 and 160,000) have played it at some point. Dark Ages publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

Heroes of Might and Magic IV

We estimate that about 1,800 people play Heroes of Might and Magic IV on a typical day (most likely between 410 and 5,300), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 340,000 accounts (between 120,000 and 790,000) have played it at some point. Heroes of Might and Magic IV publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities.
