How these estimates are made

Guild Wars 2

We estimate that about 100,000 people play Guild Wars 2 on a typical day (most likely between 60,000 and 170,000), based on data from Nov 7, 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.
