How these estimates are made
Operation: New Earth
Operation: New Earth is estimated to have 690 – 2k players a day. Around 24k – 63k 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.
The Sandbox
The Sandbox is estimated to have 77 – 36k players a day. Around 29k – 3m 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.
