Battle Ages

Star Citizen

Battle Ages is a free-to-play mobile-style historical real-time strategy game released in 2016 and later ported to consoles. It is published by 505 Games and developed by DR Studios. Although it had some traction at launch, this type of title typically sees declining engagement after a few years without major content updates or significant community presence, especially on console. I estimate a very low but ongoing player base primarily due to its F2P nature and casual market appeal.

Star Citizen is a highly ambitious, persistent online sci-fi universe developed by Cloud Imperium Games and in development since 2013. The game maintains strong interest due to continuous updates and community engagement, though it's still in alpha. Its daily active players generally range from 30,000 to 60,000, despite being niche compared to mainstream MMOs, but with a loyal playerbase and steady developer communication.
