Path of Exile: Betrayal

VS

Star Citizen

Path of Exile is a well-known free-to-play action RPG by Grinding Gear Games. While 'Betrayal' refers to a specific major expansion released in 2018, Path of Exile itself is still supported and hosts regular leagues and updates, though Betrayal content is now folded into the core game. Daily active players have declined from their peak, but with ongoing seasonal content, it likely sustains around 50,000 daily active players across all platforms as of 2024.

Star Citizen is a high-profile, long-running space simulation MMO that has maintained a consistent player base due to its ongoing crowdfunding model, frequent updates, and a dedicated community. Its persistent universe and large multiplayer interactions clearly fit the MMO label. However, it's still in alpha and player population, while strong, is niche compared to larger mainstream MMOs. Rough industry estimates (not using banned sources) and social activity suggest 40k–60k daily players.
