Fallout 76

Hero of Aethric

Fallout 76 is a 2018 online open-world survival RPG from Bethesda. After a rough launch, the game's player base stabilized thanks to consistent content updates and improvements. While its concurrent popularity never matched leading MMOs, its cross-platform presence and support allow it to maintain a smaller but steady loyal community. As of 2024, daily active players are estimated around 30,000–40,000 based on public sentiment, recent expansions, and visible in-game activity, particularly after updates or events.

"Hero of Aethric" is a mobile indie RPG released in late 2022 by Northern Forge Studios, the creators of "Orna: The GPS RPG". Given its indie status, niche market, and secondary following from Orna players, the game likely maintains a small but loyal audience. Mobile indie RPGs with some online elements typically see DAPs in the low thousands unless they achieve breakout success.
