How these estimates are made

NW2Online

We estimate that about 230 people play NW2Online on a typical day (most likely between 53 and 680), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 53,000 accounts (between 18,000 and 120,000) have played it at some point. NW2Online publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

Phantasy Star Online 2

We estimate that about 71,000 people play Phantasy Star Online 2 on a typical day (most likely between 42,000 and 120,000), based on data from Nov 9, 2026. Around 8,800,000 accounts (between 5,700,000 and 13,000,000) 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.
