Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

Star Stable is a long-running MMO aimed at children and horse enthusiasts. Released in 2012, it remains moderately popular among its niche audience, largely due to a steady stream of updates and a loyal, active community. As an MMO with persistent servers, hundreds of thousands of active monthly users have been reported in previous years, but daily active users are considerably lower, likely in the 30,000–40,000 range today. It benefits from being one of the very few online horse games targeting younger players.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile and PC MMOARPG published by Netmarble, released in mid-2021. It had a major launch, leveraging both the Ni no Kuni IP from Level-5 and gacha/MMO mechanics. The game peaked high but, like most mobile MMOs, saw significant player count decreases after the initial year. In 2024, it retains a dedicated but much smaller global player base, with estimated daily active users likely in the 50,000–100,000 range, especially due to its presence in Asia. Major publisher support and continued updates help maintain its relevance.
