How these estimates are made

Destiny

Destiny is estimated to have 89 – 42k players a day. Around 47k – 5m 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.

Final Fantasy XIV Online

Final Fantasy XIV Online is estimated to have 57k – 200k players a day. Around 1m – 3m 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.
