Fallout 76

Legends of Aria is a sandbox MMORPG released in 2019 by Citadel Studios. Although it initially attracted a niche audience due to its Ultima Online-inspired mechanics, the player base has declined significantly over time, as is typical for indie MMOs without major publisher backing or frequent, large-scale updates. Its persistent online world still qualifies it as an MMO, but the daily player count is now quite low—likely in the hundreds.

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.
