How these estimates are made
DayZ
DayZ is estimated to have 110k – 390k players a day. Around 5m – 13m accounts have played it in total.

Polygon
Polygon is estimated to have 340 – 1k players a day. Around 610k – 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.
