How these estimates are made

Milky Way Idle

We estimate that about 3,800 people play Milky Way Idle on a typical day (most likely between 2,700 and 5,300), based on data from Nov 9, 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.

The Repopulation

We estimate that about 160 people play The Repopulation on a typical day (most likely between 37 and 470), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 62,000 accounts (between 39,000 and 140,000) have played it at some point. The Repopulation 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.
