Horse Isle 3: Infinite Wilds

Last Epoch

Horse Isle 3: Infinite Wilds is a niche open-world horse simulation game released in 2019. The Horse Isle franchise has always had a small but dedicated playerbase, primarily appealing to horse enthusiasts and simulation fans. As of 2024, its daily active players are likely quite low (hundreds), typical for a specialized indie MMO of this age and genre.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
