How these estimates are made

Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go is estimated to have 440 – 210k players a day. Around 96k – 10m 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.

War Dust

War Dust is estimated to have 3 – 9 players a day. Around 42k – 110k 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.
