How these estimates are made

The Sandbox

The Sandbox is estimated to have 80 – 37k players a day. Around 30k – 3m 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.

Waven

Waven is estimated to have 160 – 550 players a day. Around 110k – 290k 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.
