Escape from Tarkov

Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio is a free-to-play FPS that launched in 2014, developed by Nexon with some involvement from Valve. It combines traditional Counter-Strike gameplay with new modes such as zombie co-op, but it has never matched the popularity of mainline Counter-Strike titles. Over time, its player base has significantly declined, but it retains a small, dedicated audience, especially in certain Asian markets. Given its age and niche appeal, current daily active players are estimated around 3,000.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore tactical shooter with survival and RPG elements, released in 2017 by Battlestate Games. Despite being several years old and not yet fully released as a 1.0 version, it retains a strong, dedicated player base due to its unique, high-stakes gameplay loop and regular content wipes. However, its niche appeal and high difficulty prevent mass market adoption, leading to a moderately sized but stable daily active player count.
