How these estimates are made

Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go is estimated to have 520 – 240k players a day. Around 100k – 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 Thunder

War Thunder is estimated to have 220k – 790k players a day. Around 8m – 21m 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.
