Black Russia

VS

Final Fantasy XIV Online

Black Russia is a relatively well-known open-world multiplayer RPG, especially popular in Russian-speaking markets. It combines action, racing, and simulation elements, and is available on mobile platforms. Despite not being from a major international publisher, it has maintained a steady mobile player base in its niche. Given game trends for open-world/sandbox RPGs on mobile, and a lack of recent western attention or major updates, a conservative estimate is around 10,000-20,000 daily players.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a major Square Enix MMORPG, originally released in 2013 but relaunched as "A Realm Reborn." It remains one of the top three global MMOs, consistently receiving major expansions and significant updates, keeping its player base very healthy even over a decade in. Estimated at around 200,000–250,000 daily active players based on recent expansion launches, ongoing events, and visible community activity.
