Lost Ark

DC Universe Online is a well-known superhero MMORPG released in 2011 by Daybreak Game Company and originally Sony Online Entertainment, published by WB Games. As a free-to-play MMO with the DC Comics brand and long-term console/PC support, it has maintained a modest but consistent population. However, it is over a decade old and is now considered a niche title. Current DAP is likely in the 10,000–20,000 range, with occasional peaks during new updates or events.

Lost Ark is a popular MMORPG released in 2018 in Korea and later globally, published by Smilegate and Amazon Games in NA/EU. It features a persistent world, large-scale multiplayer, and remains supported with frequent updates and events, maintaining a strong player base, especially in Korea and with a notable Western following. Based on recent Steam concurrency data and global reach, daily players are estimated around 120,000, though this number fluctuates with regional popularity and major updates.
