Sky: Children of the Light

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.

Sky: Children of the Light is a cross-platform, socially-oriented adventure title from ThatGameCompany (creators of Journey) and published by NetEase. Launched in 2019 and consistently receiving seasonal content updates, it maintains a strong, dedicated mobile and console player base, especially in Asian markets. Its unique multiplayer instance system enables shared world experiences but does not reach the persistent, large-scale MMO threshold. Daily active players are estimated around 150,000 due to ongoing popularity and global releases.
