PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Season 20

Ark: Survival Evolved

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is a veteran battle royale shooter that originally sparked the genre's global popularity. While its initial release was in 2017, the game continues to receive regular seasonal updates (as indicated by Season 20) and maintains a large international user base, particularly in Asia. The daily active player count has declined from its peak but remains strong due to its free-to-play model, cross-platform support, and ongoing updates by major publishers. However, its numbers are lower compared to its peak years, reflecting natural battle royale lifecycle trends.

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.
