Monster Hunter Rise

Dragon City is a long-running free-to-play mobile and browser simulation and strategy game released by Social Point in 2012. While its peak has long passed, it remains popular with a steady, casual audience, largely on mobile platforms due to its social features, regular content updates, and monetization model. Mobile simulation games with widespread global reach and social mechanics generally retain a healthy active user base years after release, though much lower than at their height.

Monster Hunter Rise is a major action RPG by Capcom, released in 2021 for Switch/PC. Its playerbase peaked in its first year, with strong support for about 2 years due to expansions and seasonal content. As of mid-2024, population has declined but remains active, likely with around 20,000-30,000 daily players across all platforms due to ongoing appeal, co-op gameplay, and Capcom's franchise reputation.
