Scum

BattleBit Remastered is a popular indie tactical shooter released in mid-2023. It saw significant early attention for its large-scale, low-poly warfare reminiscent of Battlefield, supporting up to 254 players per match. However, as a buy-to-play indie shooter without major publisher backing, its daily active players have declined from the release peak. Its concurrency and popularity remain decent for an indie shooter, but it no longer sustains massive numbers. Estimate is based on industry trends for similar indie multiplayer shooters one year post-launch.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
