How these estimates are made

RF Online

We estimate that about 1,500 people play RF Online on a typical day (most likely between 350 and 4,500), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 180,000 accounts (between 63,000 and 430,000) have played it at some point. RF Online publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.

War Thunder

We estimate that about 1,000,000 people play War Thunder on a typical day (most likely between 620,000 and 1,800,000), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 29,000,000 accounts (between 19,000,000 and 44,000,000) 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.
