FiveM

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile and PC MMOARPG published by Netmarble, released in mid-2021. It had a major launch, leveraging both the Ni no Kuni IP from Level-5 and gacha/MMO mechanics. The game peaked high but, like most mobile MMOs, saw significant player count decreases after the initial year. In 2024, it retains a dedicated but much smaller global player base, with estimated daily active users likely in the 50,000–100,000 range, especially due to its presence in Asia. Major publisher support and continued updates help maintain its relevance.

FiveM, released in 2016, is a popular modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V that enables custom multiplayer servers, especially for roleplay communities. Its active modding scene and the enduring popularity of GTA V have kept its playerbase strong, typically with hundreds of thousands of daily players. However, it's technically not an MMO as individual servers usually host dozens to a few hundred players, not a persistent shared world for thousands.
