ARK: Extinction

VS

Roblox

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.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
