Phantasy Star Online 2

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.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a well-known action MMORPG developed by Sega, originally released in 2012. The game received major updates and a Western launch (including the New Genesis relaunch), bolstering engagement. However, as it is over a decade old, its global daily active players have significantly declined from its peak, likely around 25,000 based on historical trends for long-running MMOs with niche but loyal player bases.
