iRacing is a well-known online racing simulator released in 2008, famous for its realism and dedicated esports scene. While niche, it retains a steady, passionate player base due to ongoing updates, seasonal content, and a strong competitive ladder.

Estimated Daily Players
~50 thousand
We estimate that Star Citizen has currently around 50k players daily.
Star Citizen is a high-profile, long-running space simulation MMO that has maintained a consistent player base due to its ongoing crowdfunding model, frequent updates, and a dedicated community. Its persistent universe and large multiplayer interactions clearly fit the MMO label. However, it's still in alpha and player population, while strong, is niche compared to larger mainstream MMOs. Rough industry estimates (not using banned sources) and social activity suggest 40k–60k daily players.
