How these estimates are made

Forgotten Chain

We estimate that about 180 people play Forgotten Chain on a typical day (most likely between 42 and 540), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 44,000 accounts (between 15,000 and 100,000) have played it at some point. Forgotten Chain publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Phantasy Star Online 2

We estimate that about 74,000 people play Phantasy Star Online 2 on a typical day (most likely between 44,000 and 130,000), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 8,800,000 accounts (between 5,700,000 and 13,000,000) 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.
