Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Black Desert Mobile has currently around 120k players daily.
Black Desert Mobile, released in late 2019 by Pearl Abyss, is a mobile MMORPG with a strong publisher pedigree and consistent content updates. While its peak has passed, it remains popular in Asian markets and retains a robust, though declining, global player base estimated at around 120,000 daily active players. The mobile version benefits from the franchise's reputation and ongoing events.
