How these estimates are made
Hero Online
Hero Online is estimated to have 78 – 270 players a day. Around 10k – 24k accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen is estimated to have 320 – 150k players a day. Around 76k – 8m accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.
