Estimated Daily Players

We estimate that Heat has currently around 100 players daily.

Heat is a multiplayer survival game by indie developer Code}{atch, released in 2019. As an indie title without major publisher support, it experienced a brief surge in popularity but has seen a significant decline in player base over time. It lacks the infrastructure and persistent server model typical of MMOs, and has not maintained a substantial ongoing player population.

Estimated Daily Players

~3 thousand

We estimate that Scum has currently around 3k players daily.

Scum is a multiplayer open-world survival game developed by Gamepires and originally entered Early Access in 2018. While it is not a full MMO, it supports servers with dozens of players (up to 64 per server). The game maintains a niche but dedicated following and is frequently updated; however, it has never reached large mainstream status. Based on long-term trends of similar survival games, its daily active player base is estimated to be in the low thousands, and this estimate would hold unless a major relaunch or expansion revitalized the player base.
