Estimated Daily Players

We estimate that Ark: Survival Evolved has currently around 35k players daily.

Ark: Survival Evolved, released in 2017, still maintains an active player base thanks to its prominent survival sandbox gameplay, mod support, and frequent updates. While it's past its peak years, it remains popular on PC and consoles due to regular events and community servers. However, being a session-based survival game with player-run servers, it does not meet the criteria for a true MMO (persistent world and massive scale interaction).

Estimated Daily Players

~70 thousand

We estimate that Black Desert Online has currently around 70k players daily.

Black Desert Online is a well-known MMORPG launched in 2015 by Pearl Abyss. It features a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interactions, fitting all MMO criteria. While its daily active player base has declined from peak years, it retains moderate popularity due to regular updates, global reach, and its highly regarded combat and life skills systems. Current estimates across all regions likely place it around 70,000 daily players.
