Sword Art Online: Integral Factor

VS

H1Z1

Sword Art Online: Integral Factor is a mobile and PC action RPG published by Bandai Namco, released in 2018. While it had popularity in its first years—especially among SAO anime fans—player base has declined over time due to lack of major updates and competition in the mobile RPG space. Still, it retains a steady niche audience, particularly in Asia. Estimate: 35,000 daily players.

H1Z1 was an early battle royale and survival title that saw significant popularity in its first few years but has substantially declined since 2018, with its player base moving to other games like PUBG and Fortnite. As of mid-2024, it maintains a very low daily population on both PC and PlayStation, with SteamCharts showing minimal activity and limited developer support. The game is not shut down, but is largely inactive compared to its heyday.
