DayZ

Angeldust is a small-scale indie open-world action-adventure RPG released in 2015. It has some MMO-like features, but with no major publisher or promotional events and being several years post-launch, its active player base is likely quite low, perhaps in the low hundreds daily. Indie open-world multiplayer games tend to have niche but steady follower bases if they offer persistent worlds and cross-platform play.

DayZ is a well-known open-world survival game by Bohemia Interactive, released in late 2018. It remains popular within the survival genre and typically holds a strong concurrent player base, especially on PC with additional activity on consoles. Its age means it's past its peak, but it maintains a loyal community and steady content updates, resulting in an estimated 45,000 daily active players across platforms.
