Enlisted

Eastward Legend: The Empyrean is a mobile fantasy RPG published by Tencent Games and Gameflier and developed by Seasun Games. The game is purportedly a mobile MMOARPG with a persistent world and multiplayer elements. As a recent release from a major publisher in the genre-popular Chinese mobile market, initial daily players may be around 20,000, but likely not at the level of the top grossing titles given limited western awareness and promotion.

Enlisted is a free-to-play squad-based World War II shooter developed by Darkflow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment. Launched in 2020 and available on multiple platforms, its player base is supported by ongoing updates and events promoted by Gaijin. However, as a niche shooter (and not a top-tier AAA franchise), its daily active players likely peak in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. The game has moderate popularity among enthusiasts of realistic shooters but does not reach the scale of major titles like War Thunder or Battlefield. Players per match are capped and it lacks the persistent world of a true MMO.
