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
We estimate that Palworld has currently around 120k players daily.
Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.
