How these estimates are made

Elite: Dangerous

We estimate that about 60,000 people play Elite: Dangerous on a typical day (most likely between 35,000 and 100,000), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 3,500,000 accounts (between 2,300,000 and 5,300,000) 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.

Hay Day

We estimate that about 3,000 people play Hay Day on a typical day (most likely between 690 and 8,900), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 550,000 accounts (between 190,000 and 1,300,000) have played it at some point. Hay Day 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.
