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.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 15k players daily.
Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators. Player numbers have declined from launch highs, but a strong core community remains; estimated daily players are around 15,000 based on current trends for similar titles, community activity, and public platform data.
