Aion is a fantasy MMORPG released by NCsoft in 2008. It had significant popularity in its early years, especially in Asia, but has seen a steady decline in Western markets due to age, competition, and lack of major expansions. NCsoft still supports the game and runs classic servers, which help retain a niche but passionate player base. Current daily active players are likely in the low thousands globally, maintained by a dedicated core community.

Estimated Daily Players

~600 thousand

We estimate that Minecraft has currently around 600k players daily.

Minecraft is an exceptionally popular sandbox game with a strong legacy since its release in 2011. Its cross-platform availability, enormous modding community, and consistent updates contribute to a large, active player base even over a decade later. While it’s not a traditional MMO (no single persistent shared world or servers holding thousands of simultaneous players together), its server model supports substantial multiplayer activity.
