PlanetSide 2

Silica is a 2023 sci-fi RTS/FPS hybrid published by Bohemia Interactive, known for their Arma series. Although from a notable publisher, it's an indie-scale project and not a traditional MMO. Launched in 2023 with early access, it saw some initial interest, but player retention appears modest due to niche appeal and limited ongoing marketing. Its stable but small active user base is typical for similar indie multiplayer RTS/FPS hybrids about a year post-launch.

PlanetSide 2 is a large-scale MMOFPS released in 2012 by Daybreak Game Company. Its unique, persistent world and battles with hundreds of players make it a niche but enduring title. Active support and a tight community keep player numbers modest but steady, especially considering its age. Estimates put daily active players in the low thousands, largely split across a few servers.
