How these estimates are made

Guild Wars 2

We estimate that about 110,000 people play Guild Wars 2 on a typical day (most likely between 64,000 and 180,000), based on data from Nov 14, 2026. Around 3,200,000 accounts (between 2,100,000 and 4,900,000) 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.

Project Ascension

We estimate that about 55 people play Project Ascension on a typical day (most likely between 13 and 160), based on data from Nov 14, 2026. Around 20,000 accounts (between 7,000 and 47,000) have played it at some point. Project Ascension 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.
