Palworld

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.

Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.
