How these estimates are made

Eve Online

Eve Online is estimated to have 12k – 43k players a day. Around 640k – 2m 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.

Persist Online

Persist Online is estimated to have 3 – 2k players a day. Around 3k – 250k 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.
