How these estimates are made

Initial Drift Online

Initial Drift Online is estimated to have 180 – 620 players a day. Around 130k – 320k 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.

Mir Tankov

Mir Tankov is estimated to have 250 – 120k players a day. Around 56k – 6m 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.
