Enlisted: Reinforced

VS

Elite: Dangerous

Enlisted: Reinforced is a relaunch/major update to 'Enlisted,' a squad-based WW2 shooter by Darkflow Software, historically published by Gaijin Entertainment. The core game has maintained a modest but dedicated playerbase, buoyed by frequent updates and free-to-play access. The 'Reinforced' update/launch (mid-2024) likely gives a boost, especially in its initial weeks, but third-party stats and genre trends suggest daily active players around 40,000–50,000, down from its peak surges. Not a traditional MMO (lobby-based large matches rather than persistent world).

Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators. Player numbers have declined from launch highs, but a strong core community remains; estimated daily players are around 15,000 based on current trends for similar titles, community activity, and public platform data.
