Battleship Apollo

Outriders

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.

Outriders is a co-op looter-shooter released in 2021 by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. While it had a strong launch, concurrent player numbers have declined significantly since release. The game is not an MMO, as it centers around instanced co-op play (groups of up to three), not a persistent open world with massive players. Based on trends typical for similar games 2-3 years post-launch, estimated daily active players are in the low thousands across all platforms.
