How these estimates are made

War Thunder

We estimate that about 1,000,000 people play War Thunder on a typical day (most likely between 600,000 and 1,700,000), based on data from Nov 11, 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.
