How these estimates are made

Heroes & Generals

We estimate that about 2,000 people play Heroes & Generals on a typical day (most likely between 470 and 6,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 3,000,000 accounts (between 2,400,000 and 3,900,000) have played it at some point. Heroes & Generals 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: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

War Thunder

We estimate that about 1,000,000 people play War Thunder on a typical day (most likely between 620,000 and 1,800,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 29,000,000 accounts (between 19,000,000 and 44,000,000) 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.
