Life Time Steamspy Owner Estimates for STEAM Titles released in 2019 - 2020, having min. 500,000 Owners:
As per the ABOUT page, here's what it says..
For more information on its working mechanism please refer to the ABOUT page i linked above!Steam Spy is Steam stats service based on Web API provided by Valve and cool idea of Kyle Orland from Ars Technica. Steam Spy automatically gathers data from Steam user profiles, analyzes it and presents in simple, yet beautiful, manner.

Also... As to how do I get this data...its thanks to a fellow ResetEra (and Metacouncil?) member who is a Patreon of Steamspy and that person kindly shares the data with me!Since Steam implemented its GDPR update in 2018, Steamspy's inaccuracy has grown and so has its margin of error but it still it seems like it has some credibility and reliability to it with its new algorithm but obviously that means that its range at which it estimates the owners will go wider and not as specific as its previous algorithm which had a 10% margin of error but using the 10x multiplier of concurrent player number peaks for these games along with this new algorithm does help it! So PLEASE take these owner estimates just... as estimates, neither as factual nor as official sales numbers of these games and with a grain of salt ofcourse! This thread is ONLY for preservation purposes and fun comparisons with actual game sales when announced
Further proof that Steamspy STILL can be reliable sometimes..recently at least:
- It was pretty damn close or had reached 500, 000 estimated owners by the time, Atlus West made the 500, 000 Sales on PC announcement
- It had 2 Million Owners around the time Fall Guys Devs announced 2 Million Sales for the game
- It had around 1.6M Sea of Thieves estimated owners around the time Rare announced that Steam version of the game had sold over 1m copies on the platform

Note: I deleted the FREE entries from the list so there are no FREE or F2P Titles in the list. Also sometimes games like the Halo: MCC for example, will count DLCs owners or different edition owners as one game so please keep note of that.2019:
