How these estimates are made

Sea of Thieves

We estimate that about 47,000 people play Sea of Thieves on a typical day (most likely between 28,000 and 79,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 13,000,000 accounts (between 8,700,000 and 20,000,000) 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.
