How these estimates are made

Active Worlds

We estimate that about 170 people play Active Worlds on a typical day (most likely between 38 and 490), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 64,000 accounts (between 22,000 and 150,000) have played it at some point. Active Worlds 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.

Heat and Run

We estimate that about 9 people play Heat and Run on a typical day (most likely between 2 and 28), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 5,900 accounts (between 2,000 and 14,000) have played it at some point. Heat and Run 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: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
