How these estimates are made

DayZ

DayZ is estimated to have 140k – 500k players a day. Around 5m – 13m accounts have played it in total.

Skyforge

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.
