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

~110 thousand

We estimate that Black Desert Online has currently around 110k players daily.

Black Desert Online is a 2015 MMORPG by Pearl Abyss known for its persistent world, large-scale multiplayer, and strong sandbox features. The game remains popular in Asia and maintains a moderate to strong player base worldwide, thanks to regular updates, cross-platform play, and a dedicated core audience. Its age means numbers are lower than its original peak but higher than many niche MMOs. Estimated daily active players is around 110,000.
