How these estimates are made

DayZ

We estimate that about 530,000 people play DayZ on a typical day (most likely between 310,000 and 890,000), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 13,000,000 accounts (between 8,500,000 and 20,000,000) 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.

Star86

We estimate that about 78 people play Star86 on a typical day (most likely between 18 and 230), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 20,000 accounts (between 6,700 and 45,000) have played it at some point. Star86 publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
