How these estimates are made

Palia

Palia is estimated to have 11k – 40k players a day. Around 700k – 2m 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.

Rail Nation

Rail Nation is estimated to have 11 – 5k players a day. Around 5k – 530k 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.
