How these estimates are made

Roblox

We estimate that about 45,000 people play Roblox on a typical day (most likely between 10,000 and 130,000), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 2,300,000 accounts (between 780,000 and 5,300,000) have played it at some point. Roblox publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

World of Warcraft

We estimate that about 28,000 people play World of Warcraft on a typical day (most likely between 6,400 and 82,000), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 1,700,000 accounts (between 570,000 and 3,900,000) have played it at some point. World of Warcraft publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
