Arma 3: Contact

VS

Castaways

Arma 3: Contact is a major expansion for Arma 3, a military simulation game by Bohemia Interactive. While Arma 3 itself remains niche but steady in popularity due to its modding community and tactical gameplay, daily active player counts have slowly declined since its original release in 2013. As of 2024, Arma 3 generally averages between 10,000-15,000 daily players on Steam; the Contact expansion is a subset of this, so the active players specifically engaging with Contact content is likely in the low thousands. The estimate reflects ongoing moderate engagement from a dedicated playerbase.

Castaways by Branch.GG is a sandbox adventure game available for web browsers, released in 2022. It has had some viral moments on social media and Twitch since launch, but as a small studio release, its daily player base is likely modest, in the low thousands, and has probably stabilized post-launch. Ongoing development and updates may keep a core community active, but the lack of a major publisher or wide platform presence constrains larger growth.
