Phantasy Star Online 2

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.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a well-known action MMORPG developed by Sega, originally released in 2012. The game received major updates and a Western launch (including the New Genesis relaunch), bolstering engagement. However, as it is over a decade old, its global daily active players have significantly declined from its peak, likely around 25,000 based on historical trends for long-running MMOs with niche but loyal player bases.
