Star Trek Online

Synced is a futuristic third-person shooter with PvE and PvP elements, released in late 2023 by NExT Studios and published by Level Infinite. Despite a notable launch and strong publisher backing, its genre and recent player trend reports indicate significant drop-off post-launch. As a session-based action shooter—not a persistent world MMO—even with co-op and squad features, it lacks the scale and persistence to be considered a true MMO.

Star Trek Online is a long-running MMORPG first released in 2010 by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World Entertainment. Though past its peak, it maintains a loyal niche player base due to consistent content updates and the enduring popularity of the Star Trek IP. The game continues to receive seasonal events and new content expansions, but active daily player numbers have gradually decreased over the years, typical for most MMORPGs over a decade old.
