Pokémon Go

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.

Pokémon Go, launched in 2016 by Niantic Labs and The Pokémon Company, remains a leading mobile AR game. While its initial peak was much higher, it consistently maintains high active daily users due to ongoing events, strong brand recognition, and global reach. High engagement is reinforced through regular content updates and seasonal events, although numbers have declined from their 2016–2017 peak.
