How these estimates are made

Dune: Awakening

Dune: Awakening is estimated to have 23k – 82k 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.

Realms of Despair

Realms of Despair is estimated to have 0 – 130 players a day. Around 180 – 23k 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.
