How these estimates are made

Heat and Run

We estimate that about 10 people play Heat and Run on a typical day (most likely between 2 and 28), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 6,000 accounts (between 2,100 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.

Rift

We estimate that about 1,700 people play Rift on a typical day (most likely between 1,000 and 2,900), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 660,000 accounts (between 430,000 and 1,000,000) 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.
