State of Survival

Palworld is a survival/adventure sandbox game released in January 2024 by Pocketpair. It experienced an explosive launch with millions of sales and high concurrent player counts on PC. Since launch, player counts have declined from their peak but remain strong for a new multiplayer survival game, thanks to active updates and ongoing community engagement. It's not an MMO, as servers are typically limited to smaller group sizes and don't feature a true persistent, massively multiplayer world.

State of Survival is a popular mobile strategy-survival RPG that launched in 2019 and has seen sustained marketing and content updates. These factors, along with a strong presence in app store charts and ongoing partnerships, indicate a healthy daily active player population. However, as a typical mobile strategy title, its DAU is in the low hundreds of thousands several years after launch, given natural attrition and aging in the mobile games market.
