How these estimates are made

Final Fantasy XI Online

Final Fantasy XI Online is estimated to have 420 – 200k players a day. Around 69k – 7m 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.

Palworld

Palworld is estimated to have 1m – 4m players a day. Around 5m – 13m 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.
