Phantasy Star Online 2

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.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a well-known action MMORPG developed by Sega, originally released in 2012. The game received major updates and a Western launch (including the New Genesis relaunch), bolstering engagement. However, as it is over a decade old, its global daily active players have significantly declined from its peak, likely around 25,000 based on historical trends for long-running MMOs with niche but loyal player bases.
