Palworld

Goose Goose Duck is a social deduction party game released in 2021, similar to Among Us, which had significant popularity during its first year and retains an active global player base, particularly in regions like Asia. However, being a party game, player retention over time is moderate but not at massive scales seen in major MMOs, though it holds steady with tens of thousands of daily active players two years post-launch.

Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.
