Space Station 13

Empyrion: Galactic Survival is a sandbox space survival game released in 2020 by Eleon Game Studios. As an indie title with open-world and multiplayer sandbox elements, it retains a loyal but niche audience. Based on its age, continued updates, and regular activity on platforms like Steam, it likely has a few thousand daily active players, primarily from its core community. However, its multiplayer scope does not reach MMO scale.

Space Station 13 is a cult classic sandbox multiplayer game originally released in 2003, with various community servers running different versions. Despite its age, it maintains a small but active playerbase due to its unique gameplay and strong, niche community. Across all servers and codebases, the estimated daily player count ranges from 2,000–5,000, so approximately 4,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate in 2024.
