Outriders

DayZ

Outriders is a co-op looter-shooter released in 2021 by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. While it had a strong launch, concurrent player numbers have declined significantly since release. The game is not an MMO, as it centers around instanced co-op play (groups of up to three), not a persistent open world with massive players. Based on trends typical for similar games 2-3 years post-launch, estimated daily active players are in the low thousands across all platforms.

DayZ is a well-known open-world survival game by Bohemia Interactive, released in late 2018. It remains popular within the survival genre and typically holds a strong concurrent player base, especially on PC with additional activity on consoles. Its age means it's past its peak, but it maintains a loyal community and steady content updates, resulting in an estimated 45,000 daily active players across platforms.
