Stalcraft: X

Minecraft is an exceptionally popular sandbox game with a strong legacy since its release in 2011. Its cross-platform availability, enormous modding community, and consistent updates contribute to a large, active player base even over a decade later. While it’s not a traditional MMO (no single persistent shared world or servers holding thousands of simultaneous players together), its server model supports substantial multiplayer activity.

STALCRAFT, developed by EXBO and released in late 2022, is a multiplayer open-world shooter with strong post-apocalyptic/STALKER influences. It has cultivated a niche but loyal community, mostly on PC. At under two years old, its player engagement has slightly declined from launch but remains healthy for a smaller studio, especially on platforms like Steam. The game supports large player counts on servers, but its overall DAP is moderate due to its niche genre and indie developer status.
