Dark Chess is an indie strategy game released in early 2023, developed by Tall Troll Games. As an indie digital board game variant with a niche appeal and limited exposure, it is likely to have a small but steady community of active daily players, especially since it's over a year past launch and not produced by a major publisher.

Estimated Daily Players

~15 thousand

We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 15k players daily.

Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators. Player numbers have declined from launch highs, but a strong core community remains; estimated daily players are around 15,000 based on current trends for similar titles, community activity, and public platform data.
