New World

Synced is a free-to-play third-person shooter with survival and open-world elements, developed by NExT Studios and published by Level Infinite. It launched in 2023, initially gaining attention due to its blend of PvP and PvE gameplay, and its unique 'Nano' companion system. However, like many multiplayer shooters that aren't backed by a massive publisher or don't achieve breakout viral status, its player base has declined post-launch. Based on Steam charts and typical genre trends, current daily active players likely sit around 10,000, mostly on PC. It is not an MMO as it lacks a persistent world and does not feature the large-scale multiplayer environments typical of MMOs.

New World is a 2021 MMORPG developed by Amazon Game Studios. While it had a highly successful launch with hundreds of thousands of concurrent players, its population saw steep decline after the first year, stabilizing at a much lower, but still sustainable, level for an MMO. Recent updates and expansions have kept the community moderately active. The game is a full MMORPG with a persistent world and large-scale multiplayer interactions.
