Fallout 76

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.

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.
