Enlisted

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore tactical shooter with survival and RPG elements, released in 2017 by Battlestate Games. Despite being several years old and not yet fully released as a 1.0 version, it retains a strong, dedicated player base due to its unique, high-stakes gameplay loop and regular content wipes. However, its niche appeal and high difficulty prevent mass market adoption, leading to a moderately sized but stable daily active player count.

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.
