How these estimates are made

Sea of Thieves

Sea of Thieves is estimated to have 14k – 50k players a day. Around 4m – 11m 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.
