Ark: Survival Evolved

Freestyle Football R, released in 2022 by Joycity Corporation, is a niche multiplayer sports game, likely drawing from the audience of the older Freestyle street basketball and soccer titles. The genre and small publisher indicate a focused yet limited community. Over a year after release, its daily player base is likely modest, probably in the low hundreds. It does not have the scale or persistence required for an MMO.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
