Sphere 3

DayZ

Sphere 3 is a follow-up to Sphere, an early-2000s Russian MMORPG. Released in 2015, it saw limited Western popularity but retained a cult following in Eastern Europe. MMORPGs like this, especially those with niche communities and no major global publisher, tend to decline heavily after 5+ years. Given its age, lack of updates, and relatively small initial audience, it's likely the game currently sees around 200 daily active players globally.

DayZ is a well-known open-world survival game by Bohemia Interactive, released in late 2018. It remains popular within the survival genre and typically holds a strong concurrent player base, especially on PC with additional activity on consoles. Its age means it's past its peak, but it maintains a loyal community and steady content updates, resulting in an estimated 45,000 daily active players across platforms.
