How these estimates are made

Milky Way Idle

We estimate that about 3,900 people play Milky Way Idle on a typical day (most likely between 2,800 and 5,500), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 97,000 accounts (between 76,000 and 120,000) 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.

Starborne: Frontiers

We estimate that about 200 people play Starborne: Frontiers on a typical day (most likely between 130 and 600), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 44,000 accounts (between 15,000 and 100,000) have played it at some point. Starborne: Frontiers 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.
