CarX Street

Scum

CarX Street is a relatively new open-world street racing game released in late 2023, available on mobile and Windows platforms. The franchise (CarX Drift, etc.) has a history of steady but niche popularity. As a recent entry with multi-platform reach and a growing community, it's likely sustaining 50,000–100,000 daily active players, especially due to its appeal in mobile markets and among racing game fans. However, it is not backed by a major AAA studio, so growth may be moderate rather than explosive.

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.
