Fallout 76

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.

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.
