How these estimates are made

FreeSO

We estimate that about 190 people play FreeSO on a typical day (most likely between 45 and 570), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 54,000 accounts (between 19,000 and 120,000) have played it at some point. FreeSO publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

Space Station 13

We estimate that about 4,300 people play Space Station 13 on a typical day (most likely between 1,000 and 13,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 530,000 accounts (between 180,000 and 1,200,000) have played it at some point. Space Station 13 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.
