ARK: Extinction is an expansion for ARK: Survival Evolved, a survival action-adventure game from Studio Wildcard, released in 2018. While the main game retains a solid player base, expansions like Extinction have lower engagement than the core ARK experience, especially several years post-launch. However, ARK still sees a dedicated community and regular server activity. Extinction-specific daily players are much lower than the main game's but still significant due to the DLC being bundled or included in some versions, and overall interest in ARK content.

Estimated Daily Players

~15 thousand

We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 15k players daily.

Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators. Player numbers have declined from launch highs, but a strong core community remains; estimated daily players are around 15,000 based on current trends for similar titles, community activity, and public platform data.
