PlanetSide 2

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.

PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale MMOFPS released in 2012 by Daybreak Game Company. Its unique, persistent world and battles with hundreds of players make it a niche but enduring title. Active support and a tight community keep player numbers modest but steady, especially considering its age. Estimates put daily active players in the low thousands, largely split across a few servers.
