How these estimates are made

Phantasy Star Universe

Phantasy Star Universe is estimated to have 13 – 6k players a day. Around 10k – 960k 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.

VRChat

VRChat is estimated to have 110k – 400k 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.
