Star Wars: The Old Republic

Islands of Insight is a puzzle-focused adventure game released in February 2024 by Behaviour Interactive and Lunarch Studios. While it features open-world and multiplayer elements, it does not have the scale or persistent world expected of a true MMO. Since its launch, it has garnered some attention for its unique genre mix but has seen modest concurrent player numbers on platforms like Steam, typical for niche puzzle/adventure titles. Current daily active players are likely in the low thousands.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic MMORPG launched in 2011 by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Although it had a large player base at launch, the numbers have declined over the years, especially since it's now over a decade old and several expansions have come and gone. However, it still maintains a loyal core community thanks to regular content updates and the strength of the Star Wars IP. As an MMORPG, it does meet the MMO criteria with a persistent online world and the ability to interact with thousands of players simultaneously.
