How these estimates are made

Dark and Light

We estimate that about 350 people play Dark and Light on a typical day (most likely between 100 and 1,000), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 330,000 accounts (between 260,000 and 430,000) have played it at some point. Dark and Light 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.

The Elder Scrolls Online

We estimate that about 180,000 people play The Elder Scrolls Online on a typical day (most likely between 110,000 and 300,000), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 9,400,000 accounts (between 6,200,000 and 14,000,000) 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.
