How these estimates are made

Perpetuum

We estimate that about 53 people play Perpetuum on a typical day (most likely between 34 and 160), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 38,000 accounts (between 30,000 and 48,000) have played it at some point. Perpetuum is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

Scum

We estimate that about 53,000 people play Scum on a typical day (most likely between 38,000 and 73,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 2,200,000 accounts (between 1,700,000 and 2,900,000) 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.
