How these estimates are made

Perfect World

We estimate that about 220 people play Perfect World on a typical day (most likely between 51 and 660), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 56,000 accounts (between 19,000 and 130,000) have played it at some point. Perfect World publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Phantasy Star Online 2

We estimate that about 73,000 people play Phantasy Star Online 2 on a typical day (most likely between 44,000 and 120,000), based on data from Nov 12, 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.
