How these estimates are made
Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is estimated to have 53k – 190k players a day. Around 7m – 18m 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.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen is estimated to have 350 – 160k players a day. Around 80k – 8m 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.
