How these estimates are made

Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 is estimated to have 13k – 44k 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.

Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go is estimated to have 430 – 200k players a day. Around 93k – 9m 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.
