A Tale in the Desert is a niche, long-running sandbox MMO that launched in 2003. The game is known for its unique social and crafting-driven systems, but its player base has always been small compared to mainstream MMORPGs. Given its age, indie status, and community-driven development, the current daily active player base is likely under 200.

Estimated Daily Players

~13 thousand

We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 13k players daily.

Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
