How these estimates are made

Eve Online

We estimate that about 73,000 people play Eve Online on a typical day (most likely between 43,000 and 120,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 2,900,000 accounts (between 1,900,000 and 4,400,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

FreeSO

We estimate that about 190 people play FreeSO on a typical day (most likely between 45 and 570), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 54,000 accounts (between 19,000 and 120,000) have played it at some point. FreeSO publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
