How these estimates are made

Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 is estimated to have 14k – 49k players a day. Around 500k – 1m 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.

Phantasy Star Universe

Phantasy Star Universe is estimated to have 12 – 6k players a day. Around 9k – 910k 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.
