ARK: Extinction

Enlisted

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.

Enlisted is a free-to-play squad-based World War II shooter developed by Darkflow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment. Launched in 2020 and available on multiple platforms, its player base is supported by ongoing updates and events promoted by Gaijin. However, as a niche shooter (and not a top-tier AAA franchise), its daily active players likely peak in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. The game has moderate popularity among enthusiasts of realistic shooters but does not reach the scale of major titles like War Thunder or Battlefield. Players per match are capped and it lacks the persistent world of a true MMO.
