Hand Simulator: Survival VS Escape from Tarkov

Hand Simulator: Survival is a small indie spin-off of the Hand Simulator franchise, released in 2019. It has a niche audience because of its intentionally awkward controls and meme appeal, but as a smaller indie title without a strong ongoing community or major updates, its daily active players are likely under 200. Survival spin-offs tend to taper off in player base after a few years unless they break out as viral hits.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore survival shooter launched in 2017 that is developed and published by Battlestate Games. While the game saw significant popularity during its peak years and remains popular among hardcore shooter fans and streamers, its player base has gradually declined as the genre matured and competition increased, though major wipes and updates can temporarily spike player counts. It now maintains a steady, loyal daily base likely in the 40,000–80,000 range, averaging around 60,000 daily players based on industry trends and recent visibility.
