Temtem

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.

Temtem is a creature-collection MMO inspired by Pokémon, released in 2022. While it started with some hype due to its online persistent world features and unique take on the genre, its active player base has dwindled since launch, as is common for indie MMOs without massive ongoing updates or expansions. Its MMO mechanics and persistent world qualify it as an MMO, but player activity is now limited mostly to dedicated fans.
