How these estimates are made

Guild Wars 2

We estimate that about 99,000 people play Guild Wars 2 on a typical day (most likely between 59,000 and 170,000), based on data from Nov 13, 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.

Riders of Icarus

We estimate that about 540 people play Riders of Icarus on a typical day (most likely between 120 and 1,600), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 340,000 accounts (between 260,000 and 430,000) have played it at some point. Riders of Icarus is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
