How these estimates are made

Return Alive

We estimate that about 65 people play Return Alive on a typical day (most likely between 15 and 190), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 17,000 accounts (between 7,700 and 39,000) have played it at some point. Return Alive 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.

The Elder Scrolls Online

We estimate that about 200,000 people play The Elder Scrolls Online on a typical day (most likely between 120,000 and 340,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 9,400,000 accounts (between 6,200,000 and 14,000,000) 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.
