Space Station 13 is a cult classic sandbox multiplayer game originally released in 2003, with various community servers running different versions. Despite its age, it maintains a small but active playerbase due to its unique gameplay and strong, niche community. Across all servers and codebases, the estimated daily player count ranges from 2,000–5,000, so approximately 4,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate in 2024.
