Pixel Starships is a niche indie sci-fi strategy game released in 2016 by Savy Soda. As a mobile-first, cross-platform title, it had moderate popularity, but as an indie game over 8 years old, its daily active player base has likely diminished to a small but loyal group. It does not benefit from the large publisher push or expansion lifecycles that help larger live-service games maintain higher DAPs.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 15k players daily.
Elite: Dangerous released in 2014 and is maintained by Frontier Developments. It's a persistent online space sim with a dedicated but niche audience, typical of older, complex simulators. Player numbers have declined from launch highs, but a strong core community remains; estimated daily players are around 15,000 based on current trends for similar titles, community activity, and public platform data.
