Ark: Survival Evolved

Minds of Nations is a niche indie strategy and simulation game released in 2020. As an indie title without major publisher support or sustained widespread attention, it likely has a small but dedicated player base by 2024. This genre attracts a specific community, and the lack of broader social media presence and absent major developer/publisher suggests player numbers are modest.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
