How these estimates are made

Roots

Roots is estimated to have 3 – 2k players a day. Around 2k – 230k 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.

Sky: Children of the Light

Sky: Children of the Light is estimated to have 15k – 54k players a day. Around 440k – 1m 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.
