Million on Mars: Space to Venture

VS

The Elder Scrolls Online

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.

The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a major MMORPG developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda. Released in 2014, it has maintained a strong player base through regular major expansions and updates. Although its peak concurrent userbase was higher after launch and at key expansion drops, it remains one of the top MMORPGs with a healthy, active population across PC and consoles. Based on industry knowledge and typical MMO retention with major publisher support, a current estimate of 120,000 daily players is reasonable.
