BattleBit Remastered

March of Empires is a long-running mobile and PC strategy game from Gameloft, first released in 2017. As a free-to-play title from a major studio, it has maintained a modest but steady player base, especially among fans of persistent strategy games. However, being over 6 years old and without major recent expansions, its daily active players are likely much lower than its peak, estimated now at around 15,000. While it offers large-scale multiplayer features typical of strategy MMOs, it falls just short of classic MMO levels of persistent, shared worlds with thousands simultaneously present.

BattleBit Remastered is a popular indie tactical shooter released in mid-2023. It saw significant early attention for its large-scale, low-poly warfare reminiscent of Battlefield, supporting up to 254 players per match. However, as a buy-to-play indie shooter without major publisher backing, its daily active players have declined from the release peak. Its concurrency and popularity remain decent for an indie shooter, but it no longer sustains massive numbers. Estimate is based on industry trends for similar indie multiplayer shooters one year post-launch.
