Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Ark: Survival Evolved has currently around 35k players daily.
Ark: Survival Evolved, released in 2017, still maintains an active player base thanks to its prominent survival sandbox gameplay, mod support, and frequent updates. While it's past its peak years, it remains popular on PC and consoles due to regular events and community servers. However, being a session-based survival game with player-run servers, it does not meet the criteria for a true MMO (persistent world and massive scale interaction).
