How these estimates are made

Final Fantasy XIV Online

We estimate that about 700,000 people play Final Fantasy XIV Online on a typical day (most likely between 410,000 and 1,200,000), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 9,300,000 accounts (between 6,100,000 and 14,000,000) 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.

The Elder Scrolls Online

We estimate that about 220,000 people play The Elder Scrolls Online on a typical day (most likely between 130,000 and 380,000), based on data from Nov 8, 2026.
