How these estimates are made

New World: Aeternum

We estimate that about 2,400 people play New World: Aeternum on a typical day (most likely between 1,400 and 4,100), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 6,800,000 accounts (between 4,400,000 and 10,000,000) 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.

World of Warcraft Classic

We estimate that about 25,000 people play World of Warcraft Classic on a typical day (most likely between 5,900 and 76,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 2,300,000 accounts (between 790,000 and 5,300,000) have played it at some point. World of Warcraft Classic publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
