Escape from Tarkov

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War is a mobile strategy RPG that launched in 2017, published by Joycity and Disney Games. While it attracted attention at launch thanks to the brand, mobile strategy games typically see declining player bases over the years unless there's ongoing major content support. This title still receives minor updates but doesn't trend highly in current mobile charts, suggesting a modest, stable but reduced active player base typical of similar long-running licensed mobile games.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore tactical shooter with survival and RPG elements, released in 2017 by Battlestate Games. Despite being several years old and not yet fully released as a 1.0 version, it retains a strong, dedicated player base due to its unique, high-stakes gameplay loop and regular content wipes. However, its niche appeal and high difficulty prevent mass market adoption, leading to a moderately sized but stable daily active player count.
