Aberoth VS Escape from Tarkov

Aberoth is a small indie online RPG released in 2015 and is somewhat niche, with a retro, pixel-art style and persistent world. While it features MMO elements, its player base has always been modest and activity has declined over time. Based on its longevity and current web presence (including its subreddit), it likely has around 100-300 daily players as of 2024.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore survival shooter launched in 2017 that is developed and published by Battlestate Games. While the game saw significant popularity during its peak years and remains popular among hardcore shooter fans and streamers, its player base has gradually declined as the genre matured and competition increased, though major wipes and updates can temporarily spike player counts. It now maintains a steady, loyal daily base likely in the 40,000–80,000 range, averaging around 60,000 daily players based on industry trends and recent visibility.
