Ark: Survival Evolved

Battalion 1944 is a competitive WWII shooter released in 2019. While it initially had some interest from fans of old-school shooters and was backed by Square Enix Collective, its player base has significantly declined. Most recent reports and community discussion suggest very low active player numbers, with difficulty finding matches on public servers in recent years. It is not an MMO, as it is a session-based multiplayer FPS without a persistent world or large-scale player counts.

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.
