These are Steam players only. A game that also runs on its own launcher, a storefront of its own or on console has players this number cannot see, so read it as a comparison of Steam audiences rather than of total ones.
Squad has had the higher daily player count for the last 71 days, every day since Coilr began tracking both games.
How this works: each game's daily average concurrent players (from Coilr's 10-minute Steam polls), compared on the 71 days where both games have data. Whichever averages higher leads that day.
Every number Coilr has for both games. The better figure in each row is in green.
