Ark: Survival Evolved

Battleship Apollo is an indie strategy and board game-inspired title released in 2021 by Parallel Space Inc. While it may have had an initial burst of interest, as an indie strategy game from a lesser-known studio with moderate social presence and no major ongoing publicity, its current daily active players are likely quite modest—likely in the hundreds. The 'board game' and 'strategy' tags also suggest a more niche appeal rather than mass audience retention.

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.
