Enlisted

Endless Ocean: Luminous is a 2024 release from Nintendo and Arika for the Switch, building on a recognizable niche series focused on underwater exploration. Although recently released and backed by Nintendo, its genre (exploration/simulation) typically attracts a dedicated but smaller audience compared to action or competitive titles. Early post-launch engagement is likely solid, but the adventure/exploration focus generally leads to moderate, not massive, daily concurrency.

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.
