Pax Dei

Brain Wars is a puzzle/quiz mobile game that released in 2014. While it initially enjoyed popularity in the educational and brain-training app segments, games in this genre tend to decline significantly in active daily users after their early years unless backed by continual content updates or viral popularity. Given its age and lack of recent major updates or presence in trending app charts, an estimated 4,000 daily active players is reasonable for a niche but persistent audience.

Pax Dei is a newly released (June 2024) open-world sandbox MMO RPG by Mainframe Industries. As a new launch with significant industry attention and MMO ambition, it likely has high initial engagement, but as a new IP from a less established publisher, its daily players may not match the largest MMOs. The MMO nature, open-world sandbox appeal, and fantasy setting likely attract tens of thousands of active players at launch.
