How these estimates are made

Survival

We estimate that about 440 people play Survival on a typical day (most likely between 100 and 1,300), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 140,000 accounts (between 47,000 and 320,000) have played it at some point. Survival 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 Sandbox

We estimate that about 2,100 people play The Sandbox on a typical day (most likely between 490 and 6,300), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 320,000 accounts (between 110,000 and 750,000) have played it at some point. The Sandbox 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.
