Pax Dei

Sunshine Days is a social adventure and life-simulation mobile RPG, published by Netspeak Games. While not a major release, it appeals to fans of cozy, community-driven mobile titles similar to Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. As a smaller, relatively niche title without the marketing power of a major publisher and judging by its social activity, it likely sustains a modest but engaged community with daily active players in the low thousands. This is typical for well-reviewed life sim games on mobile with ongoing updates but without global breakout success.

Pax Dei is a newly released (June 2024) open-world sandbox MMO RPG by Mainframe Industries. As a new launch with significant industry attention and MMO ambition, it likely has high initial engagement, but as a new IP from a less established publisher, its daily players may not match the largest MMOs. The MMO nature, open-world sandbox appeal, and fantasy setting likely attract tens of thousands of active players at launch.
