AFK Journey, developed by Farlight Games, is a recently released cross-platform fantasy idle RPG with gacha and adventure elements. The game has generated significant hype post-launch, especially among mobile and casual strategy communities, and leverages the popularity of its predecessor, AFK Arena. Recent mobile downloads and community activity suggest strong daily engagement, likely in the hundreds of thousands. Given its cross-platform support and gacha monetization, retention is high at launch. However, it does not qualify as an MMO despite some open-world and multiplayer features, as it lacks a persistent large-scale shared world.

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.
