Ark: Survival Evolved

Gunslinger Stratos is a Japanese arcade shooter released in 2012, published by Square Enix. The game is primarily played in arcades and is not an MMO by standard definitions. Given its age (over 10 years since release), niche arcade-only presence, and lack of recent updates, the active daily player count is expected to be quite low—contingent mostly on a few remaining arcade machines in operation, mainly in Japan.

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.
