How these estimates are made

PlanetSide 2

PlanetSide 2 is estimated to have 1k – 4k players a day. Around 1m – 3m 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.

Pulse Online

Pulse Online is estimated to have 1 – 260 players a day. Around 520 – 57k 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.
