New World

Roblox

New World, launched by Amazon Game Studios in September 2021, saw a massive player base at launch but has since experienced typical post-launch decline. As an MMORPG with ongoing updates and a moderate community, it is likely to have around 30,000–40,000 daily active players as of 2024—primarily based on Steam charts and genre performance trends.

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.
