Estimated Daily Players

Estimated Daily Players

~600 thousand

We estimate that Minecraft China has currently around 600k players daily.

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.

Estimated Daily Players

~30 thousand

We estimate that Second Life has currently around 30k players daily.

Second Life is a classic sandbox MMO launched in 2003. While its peak popularity has long passed, it retains a dedicated core audience, especially among content creators and virtual community participants. Its age and niche status mean lower numbers than mainstream MMOs, but it still maintains tens of thousands of daily users due to its unique virtual world and social economy.
