It consistently ranks among the top live-service shooters, with strong seasonal updates and multi-platform support. While peak popularity has declined from launch, it still retains a large, active daily player base across all platforms, likely around 500,000 daily players in 2024.

We estimate that Star Citizen has currently around 50k players daily.
Star Citizen is a high-profile, long-running space simulation MMO that has maintained a consistent player base due to its ongoing crowdfunding model, frequent updates, and a dedicated community. Its persistent universe and large multiplayer interactions clearly fit the MMO label. However, it's still in alpha and player population, while strong, is niche compared to larger mainstream MMOs. Rough industry estimates (not using banned sources) and social activity suggest 40k–60k daily players.
