How these estimates are made

Persist Online

We estimate that about 110 people play Persist Online on a typical day (most likely between 25 and 320), based on data from Nov 10, 2026. Around 32,000 accounts (between 11,000 and 75,000) have played it at some point. Persist Online 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 50,000 people play Scum on a typical day (most likely between 36,000 and 69,000), based on data from Nov 10, 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.
