How these estimates are made
Highrise
Highrise is estimated to have 910 – 3k players a day. Around 12k – 31k 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 360 – 170k players a day. Around 79k – 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.
