Throne and Liberty

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.

Throne and Liberty is a high-profile MMORPG released in December 2023 by NCsoft (a well-known MMO developer) and Amazon Games. Despite substantial pre-launch hype, launch interest was somewhat tempered by mixed reviews and typical new MMO volatility. However, as a new AAA MMO with cross-platform play and heavy marketing, it currently retains a sizable daily playerbase, likely around 120,000–180,000 DAP, so a conservative estimate is 150,000. Player engagement will likely diminish over the next year without substantial content updates.
