How these estimates are made

Free Realms

Free Realms 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.

PlanetSide 2

PlanetSide 2 is estimated to have 1k – 4k players a day. Around 1m – 3m 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.
