Palworld

Goose Goose Duck is a social deduction party game released in 2021, similar in gameplay to Among Us. The game saw a surge in popularity, particularly with Asian communities, but typical activity has declined somewhat since its peak. As a niche indie title focused on small party lobbies rather than a persistent world, its daily active player base is estimated to be around 25,000, based on recent Steam stats and general genre trends.

Palworld, released in late 2023 by Pocketpair, initially saw explosive popularity on Steam and streaming platforms, especially in its first few months. As of mid-2024, player numbers have stabilized but remain high for an indie survival open-world game due to continuous updates and strong community interest. However, its player base has declined from its launch peak. The game features multiplayer but does not provide a persistent world or live interaction on an MMO scale, so it is not considered a true MMO.
