How these estimates are made

Fallout 76

Fallout 76 is estimated to have 29k – 100k players a day. Around 2m – 5m 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.

Phantasy Star Online

Phantasy Star Online is estimated to have 17 – 8k players a day. Around 13k – 1m 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.
