Arma 3: Contact

VS

Phantasy Star Online 2

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.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a well-known action MMORPG developed by Sega, originally released in 2012. The game received major updates and a Western launch (including the New Genesis relaunch), bolstering engagement. However, as it is over a decade old, its global daily active players have significantly declined from its peak, likely around 25,000 based on historical trends for long-running MMOs with niche but loyal player bases.
