Enlisted

Fractured Online is an indie sandbox MMORPG developed by Dynamight Studios, published with Gamigo, and set for release in July 2024. While it fits the MMORPG criteria (persistent world, large-scale multiplayer), its indie nature and publisher history suggest a modest launch. Impressively funded but niche, indie MMOs often launch with a few thousand daily players, particularly outside of heavy marketing or major publisher push. Given the studio size and genre, 3,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate for its early period.

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.
