Escape from Tarkov

Minecraft China is a localized, free-to-play version of Minecraft published by NetEase since 2017 with support from major publishers and regular content updates. It caters to a massive Chinese player base, widely reported to have tens of millions of total users, with conservative DAP estimates around several hundred thousand to over a million. Its open-world/sandbox model encourages ongoing engagement, especially in China, where it is a top online game. However, it is not a traditional MMO as it lacks a single persistent world with thousands of simultaneous players in one space.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore survival shooter launched in 2017 that is developed and published by Battlestate Games. While the game saw significant popularity during its peak years and remains popular among hardcore shooter fans and streamers, its player base has gradually declined as the genre matured and competition increased, though major wipes and updates can temporarily spike player counts. It now maintains a steady, loyal daily base likely in the 40,000–80,000 range, averaging around 60,000 daily players based on industry trends and recent visibility.
