Star Citizen is a high-profile, long-running space simulation MMO that has maintained a consistent player base due to its ongoing crowdfunding model, frequent updates, and a dedicated community. Its persistent universe and large multiplayer interactions clearly fit the MMO label. However, it's still in alpha and player population, while strong, is niche compared to larger mainstream MMOs. Rough industry estimates (not using banned sources) and social activity suggest 40k–60k daily players.

Estimated Daily Players

~800

We estimate that Dual Universe has currently around 800 players daily.

Dual Universe is a niche sandbox MMO launched in 2020 by Novaquark. While ambitious, it struggled to maintain a large player base after launch due to design challenges, competition, and limited mainstream appeal. By 2024, it retains a dedicated but small community, with daily active players estimated in the low hundreds.
