How these estimates are made

Old School RuneScape

Old School RuneScape is estimated to have 4k – 12k players a day. Around 370k – 950k 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.

Tales of Shadowland

Tales of Shadowland is estimated to have 18 – 8k players a day. Around 9k – 860k 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.
