FreeSO is a fan-made, open-source recreation of The Sims Online (an MMO from the early 2000s). Being a niche project mainly for nostalgia or Sims fans, and with minimal marketing or support since 2017, the community is small and activity is usually limited to a few hundred dedicated players daily. Its MMO status is justified by persistent worlds and large shared spaces, but its audience is limited by age and unofficial nature.
Estimated Daily Players
~150 thousand
We estimate that AFK Journey has currently around 150k players daily.
AFK Journey launched in early 2024 from Farlight Games, building on the popularity of the AFK Arena franchise. It is a cross-platform, casual strategy/adventure RPG with significant mobile presence and active social media. Given its newness, high profile in the mobile gaming space, and ongoing updates/events, daily active players are likely robust, with around 150,000 being a reasonable estimate at mid-2024.
