Infestation: Survivor Stories

Enlisted

Infestation: Survivor Stories (originally known as The War Z) launched in 2012 and was subject to significant controversy, negative reviews, and eventual removal from Steam. While it has a small cult following and has seen community-run servers and relaunches, its active player base has dwindled significantly. The game is over a decade old, and publisher support has been minimal for years. Estimated current daily active players are very low, likely under 100, with most activity on unofficial servers.

Enlisted is a free-to-play squad-based World War II shooter developed by Darkflow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment. Launched in 2020 and available on multiple platforms, its player base is supported by ongoing updates and events promoted by Gaijin. However, as a niche shooter (and not a top-tier AAA franchise), its daily active players likely peak in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. The game has moderate popularity among enthusiasts of realistic shooters but does not reach the scale of major titles like War Thunder or Battlefield. Players per match are capped and it lacks the persistent world of a true MMO.
