Phantasy Star Online 2

H1Z1 was an early battle royale and survival title that saw significant popularity in its first few years but has substantially declined since 2018, with its player base moving to other games like PUBG and Fortnite. As of mid-2024, it maintains a very low daily population on both PC and PlayStation, with SteamCharts showing minimal activity and limited developer support. The game is not shut down, but is largely inactive compared to its heyday.

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.
