Out of the Park Baseball 24

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.

Out of the Park Baseball 24 is a sports simulation/management game primarily appealing to a niche but dedicated fanbase. Released in 2023 by an indie developer, it focuses on single-player and asynchronous online features rather than a large persistent multiplayer environment. While the series is well regarded in its genre, its daily active players are modest compared to mainstream sports games. Estimate is based on historical trends for this series and niche sports management sims.
