Escape from Tarkov

Steel Ocean is an online naval combat simulator released in 2015. It peaked in popularity a few years after launch, offering competitive multiplayer naval battles similar to games like World of Warships but never reaching the same widespread success. The game has aged, and its current player base is likely quite niche, especially given competition and the lack of ongoing major updates or Western publisher support. Estimated daily active players are low, reflecting a small but consistent remaining community.

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.
