How these estimates are made

IdleOn

IdleOn is estimated to have 29k – 100k players a day. Around 510k – 1m 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 400 – 190k players a day. Around 84k – 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.
