Ark: Survival Evolved

Horse Riding Tales is a multiplayer horse riding simulation game released in 2019, appealing primarily to a younger, casual audience. While not from a large publisher, it has maintained a steady player base on mobile and PC due to unique niche appeal and active updates. Its popularity on mobile helps drive daily active player numbers beyond typical indie simulation games.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
