PlanetSide 2

Persona 5: The Phantom X is a recently released (April 2024) mobile/PC RPG with strong backing from notable publishers like Sega, Atlus, and Perfect World Games. Its association with the well-known Persona franchise and release across mobile platforms suggest a moderate but sizable player base, especially in Asia. However, it is not marketed as an MMO—it's primarily a single-player turn-based RPG with limited multiplayer features, so it doesn't fit MMO criteria.

PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale MMOFPS released in 2012 by Daybreak Game Company. Its unique, persistent world and battles with hundreds of players make it a niche but enduring title. Active support and a tight community keep player numbers modest but steady, especially considering its age. Estimates put daily active players in the low thousands, largely split across a few servers.
