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.
The Sandbox
We estimate that about 2,200 people play The Sandbox on a typical day (most likely between 500 and 6,400), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 330,000 accounts (between 110,000 and 760,000) have played it at some point. The Sandbox 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.
