How these estimates are made
Gemstone IV
We estimate that about 190 people play Gemstone IV on a typical day (most likely between 44 and 560), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 70,000 accounts (between 24,000 and 160,000) have played it at some point. Gemstone IV 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.
The Black Death
We estimate that about 5 people play The Black Death on a typical day (most likely between 3 and 7), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 88,000 accounts (between 69,000 and 110,000) 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.
