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.
Estimated Daily Players
~45 thousand
We estimate that Star Citizen has currently around 45k players daily.
Star Citizen is a highly ambitious, persistent online sci-fi universe developed by Cloud Imperium Games and in development since 2013. The game maintains strong interest due to continuous updates and community engagement, though it's still in alpha. Its daily active players generally range from 30,000 to 60,000, despite being niche compared to mainstream MMOs, but with a loyal playerbase and steady developer communication.
