Dual Universe, released in 2020 by Novaquark, is a science fiction sandbox MMO focused on a persistent, single-shard universe. Despite original hype for its player-driven world and voxel building, the game has struggled post-release with population retention due to technical obstacles and lack of mainstream adoption. As a niche MMO with modest backing and limited expansions, current daily active players are likely in the low hundreds.

Estimated Daily Players

~600 thousand

We estimate that Minecraft has currently around 600k players daily.

Minecraft is an exceptionally popular sandbox game with a strong legacy since its release in 2011. Its cross-platform availability, enormous modding community, and consistent updates contribute to a large, active player base even over a decade later. While it’s not a traditional MMO (no single persistent shared world or servers holding thousands of simultaneous players together), its server model supports substantial multiplayer activity.
