Averages give each sampled hour equal weight; they may differ slightly from the original article’s per-reading averages. Peaks are the highest captured readings, not guaranteed true peaks. Changes are calculated before rounding.
Coverage: report week 168/168 hours (993 readings); previous week 168/168 hours (979 readings). Windows do not overlap. Missing hours are omitted, not filled. Feed interruptions or changes in listed servers can affect comparisons; this is not a measure of unique players or proof of game-wide growth.

These reports use the player and server counts returned by Studio Wildcard’s public ASA server-list feeds. They cover listed multiplayer servers; they do not estimate single-player use, private sessions omitted from the feeds, or players sitting in menus. Full-day averages are used for directional comparisons to reduce time-of-day bias.

Weekly reports measure overall server activity. To find communities playing right now, compare unofficial ASA clusters by combined player population. Counts reflect concurrent players across each cluster’s listed servers, not unique players over time.
