How these estimates are made

Dead Frontier

Dead Frontier is estimated to have 14 – 7k players a day. Around 7k – 710k accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.

Runescape

Runescape is estimated to have 6k – 21k players a day. Around 470k – 1m 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.
