Escape from Tarkov

Starbase is a space sandbox MMO developed by Frozenbyte, released in mid-2021. While it launched with substantial interest due to its persistent world and complex building systems, the player base has sharply declined, likely due to slow content updates and limited mainstream appeal. Currently, daily active players are estimated to be very low—several hundred—based on recent activity trends and general online presence.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore survival shooter launched in 2017 that is developed and published by Battlestate Games. While the game saw significant popularity during its peak years and remains popular among hardcore shooter fans and streamers, its player base has gradually declined as the genre matured and competition increased, though major wipes and updates can temporarily spike player counts. It now maintains a steady, loyal daily base likely in the 40,000–80,000 range, averaging around 60,000 daily players based on industry trends and recent visibility.
