Unturned

Eve Online is a long-running MMORPG that has maintained a loyal core playerbase since its 2003 launch. While its daily active players have declined from their peak, it remains one of the most prominent space MMOs due to consistent updates and its unique open-world sandbox gameplay. Current estimates place daily players at around 20,000–30,000, which reflects its veteran community and niche appeal.

Unturned is a free-to-play zombie survival game that launched in 2017 and is well known for its indie origins and dedicated fanbase. Despite its age, it maintains a moderate playerbase because of its accessible gameplay, mod support, and frequent updates from the developer. On Steam, it typically sees several thousand concurrent players daily, making a 30,000 daily active player estimate reasonable when accounting for total logins across all platforms. However, it does not meet MMO criteria: most servers support dozens of players, not hundreds or thousands in a persistent world.
