This count may include bots. Patterns in Unturned's player count suggest that part of it comes from bots or idle accounts rather than people playing. Large groups of its accounts regularly go offline in the same few minutes as PAYDAY 2's, which people playing two different games don't do. Coilr shows the number exactly as Steam reports it.
