Second Life

Ingress is a location-based augmented reality game developed by Niantic and initially published with support from Google in 2013. Although it was popular at launch and influenced later Niantic games like Pokémon GO, its user base has declined over the years. However, it still maintains a niche, dedicated player community. Given its age and the presence of ongoing events, current daily active players are likely in the 20,000–40,000 range.

Second Life is a long-running sandbox virtual world released in 2003 by Linden Research. Its mainstream popularity peaked in the late 2000s, but it retains a loyal user base thanks to its unique user-created content and social interaction. It is still supported and receives regular updates, but its daily player base is much smaller than during its peak years. Current estimates place its daily active users in the tens of thousands.
