Ark: Survival Evolved

Avabel Online is a mobile MMORPG launched in 2013 by Asobimo, known for persistent open worlds and large-scale multiplayer interactions. While its popularity peaked several years ago, it maintains a modest but dedicated player base, especially in Asia. The aging, niche appeal, and lack of recent global surges likely keep active daily players in the low five-figures.

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.
