Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio

VS

H1Z1

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.

H1Z1 was an early battle royale and survival title that saw significant popularity in its first few years but has substantially declined since 2018, with its player base moving to other games like PUBG and Fortnite. As of mid-2024, it maintains a very low daily population on both PC and PlayStation, with SteamCharts showing minimal activity and limited developer support. The game is not shut down, but is largely inactive compared to its heyday.
