How these estimates are made

Elsword

Elsword is estimated to have 160 – 560 players a day. Around 3k – 8k 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.
