DayZ

Million on Mars: Space to Venture is a niche sandbox/strategy game with an open-world, simulation, and sci-fi focus, launched in 2021 by a small publisher/developer team. As a relatively new indie title with an active website and social presence but limited mainstream coverage, it likely has a small but dedicated community. Niche sandbox/strategy games without major publisher support tend to average in the low thousands for daily active players after a few years.

DayZ is a well-known open-world survival game by Bohemia Interactive, released in late 2018. It remains popular within the survival genre and typically holds a strong concurrent player base, especially on PC with additional activity on consoles. Its age means it's past its peak, but it maintains a loyal community and steady content updates, resulting in an estimated 45,000 daily active players across platforms.
