Fallout 76

Helios is a VR-focused open world sandbox action-adventure game released in 2021 by relatively unknown indie publishers. While it has some social and sandbox elements, it isn't widely recognized or widely covered in major gaming circles. As an indie VR title, especially outside major VR hits, the active daily player base likely remains quite small, in the low hundreds.

Fallout 76 is a 2018 online open-world survival RPG from Bethesda. After a rough launch, the game's player base stabilized thanks to consistent content updates and improvements. While its concurrent popularity never matched leading MMOs, its cross-platform presence and support allow it to maintain a smaller but steady loyal community. As of 2024, daily active players are estimated around 30,000–40,000 based on public sentiment, recent expansions, and visible in-game activity, particularly after updates or events.
