Robocraft 2

VS

Elite: Dangerous

Robocraft 2 is a follow-up to the original Robocraft, released in late 2023. Developed by Freejam, it's an action/shooter and vehicle builder with science fiction elements, but hasn't seen the widespread appeal or virality of leading PvP titles. The first game had moderate indie success but faded over time; initial launch interest for Robocraft 2 saw a brief spike, but player numbers have since dropped, matching typical indie multiplayer trends. Estimated daily players are likely in the low thousands, with community-driven activity and updates keeping it marginally active.

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.
