Ark: Survival Evolved

PixArk is a voxel-based survival game released in 2018 by Snail Games. It is a spin-off of ARK: Survival Evolved with co-op and multiplayer features, but lacks the persistent large-scale world typical of MMOs. The game saw moderate initial interest but has a very modest player base today, as most survival games experience sharp population declines after several years unless they have strong ongoing support or a dedicated community.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
