Star Citizen

Ashes of Creation is a highly anticipated MMORPG developed by Intrepid Studios, with its initial release slated for late 2023. However, as of mid-2024, it is still in early access/alpha with limited player access rather than a full public launch. Despite significant hype and regular updates, daily player numbers remain relatively modest due to lack of full release, likely around 10,000 active daily testers and early adopters.

Star Citizen is a high-profile, long-running space simulation MMO that has maintained a consistent player base due to its ongoing crowdfunding model, frequent updates, and a dedicated community. Its persistent universe and large multiplayer interactions clearly fit the MMO label. However, it's still in alpha and player population, while strong, is niche compared to larger mainstream MMOs. Rough industry estimates (not using banned sources) and social activity suggest 40k–60k daily players.
