How these estimates are made

Path of Exile

Path of Exile is estimated to have 19k – 68k players a day. Around 3m – 8m 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 Matrix Online

The Matrix Online is estimated to have 21 – 10k players a day. Around 14k – 1m 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.
