Rift is a veteran MMORPG launched in 2011 by Trion Worlds. It had a strong start and maintained a dedicated player base, but it has seen significant decline over the years, especially after publisher changes and a lack of major content updates. As of 2024, it likely sustains a small, niche community typical of long-running MMORPGs without major recent expansions.

Estimated Daily Players

~15 thousand

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.
