State of Survival

Castaways by Branch.GG is a sandbox adventure game available for web browsers, released in 2022. It has had some viral moments on social media and Twitch since launch, but as a small studio release, its daily player base is likely modest, in the low thousands, and has probably stabilized post-launch. Ongoing development and updates may keep a core community active, but the lack of a major publisher or wide platform presence constrains larger growth.

State of Survival is a popular mobile strategy-survival RPG that launched in 2019 and has seen sustained marketing and content updates. These factors, along with a strong presence in app store charts and ongoing partnerships, indicate a healthy daily active player population. However, as a typical mobile strategy title, its DAU is in the low hundreds of thousands several years after launch, given natural attrition and aging in the mobile games market.
