How these estimates are made
Highrise
Highrise is estimated to have 840 – 3k players a day. Around 12k – 32k 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.
SmallWorlds
SmallWorlds is estimated to have 5 – 2k players a day. Around 3k – 310k 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.
