H1Z1

Roblox is a massively popular sandbox platform, released in 2006 but continually updated and widely adopted by younger audiences globally. It consistently reports tens of millions of monthly active users, with peak daily actives usually around 5–10% of monthly users. Recent filings and reports indicate Roblox has over 60 million daily active users, but this covers global user logins across many devices and experiences. Adjusting conservatively for reporting and engagement variance, daily actives typically exceed 50 million worldwide, but simultaneous users generally peak in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. As a platform with persistent worlds, it fits the broader MMO definition.

H1Z1 was an early battle royale and survival title that saw significant popularity in its first few years but has substantially declined since 2018, with its player base moving to other games like PUBG and Fortnite. As of mid-2024, it maintains a very low daily population on both PC and PlayStation, with SteamCharts showing minimal activity and limited developer support. The game is not shut down, but is largely inactive compared to its heyday.
