Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
