Pirates of the Burning Sea, released in 2008, is an MMORPG with a historical and fantasy setting. Despite its age, it retains a niche player base due to its unique naval combat and strategy elements. Originally published by Sony Online Entertainment, it has seen a decline but maintains a small, dedicated community.

Estimated Daily Players

~50 thousand

We estimate that Star Citizen has currently around 50k players daily.

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.
