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.

Estimated Daily Players

~70 thousand

We estimate that The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War has currently around 70k players daily.

The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War is a licensed mobile RTS/strategy game by NetEase, released in late 2021. While initial launch interest was strong thanks to the IP and solid marketing, typical player retention for mobile strategy games stabilizes at a lower active base over time. NetEase titles perform well in Asian and international markets but generally see gradual decline after 2-3 years. As a mobile-focused, session-based game (not a full persistent MMO), it likely maintains around 70,000 daily active players globally by mid-2024.
