Trials of Ascension

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.

Trials of Ascension launched in 2018 and had a niche audience, aiming for a sandbox MMO RPG experience. However, it struggled with limited updates, visibility, and broader market traction. As of 2024, it is very niche with minimal community activity. I estimate only a few dozen daily active players at best, based on its age, lack of major publisher support, and sustained low profile online.
