How these estimates are made

Dark Chess

We estimate that about 13 people play Dark Chess on a typical day (most likely between 7 and 39), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 9,200 accounts (between 7,200 and 12,000) have played it at some point. Dark Chess 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: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

War Selection

We estimate that about 5,700 people play War Selection on a typical day (most likely between 4,100 and 8,000), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 670,000 accounts (between 520,000 and 850,000) 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.
