Elite: Dangerous

Tarisland is a recently released MMORPG by Tencent Games (under the Level Infinite label) with both mobile and PC support. As an open-world RPG, it launched globally in June 2024, and has received attention for its similarities to World of Warcraft. Backed by a major publisher and cross-platform functionality, it likely maintains a solid player base at launch, though not on the scale of genre giants. A conservative estimate for current daily players is 40,000–50,000. This title clearly qualifies as an MMO due to its persistent world and large-scale multiplayer focus.

Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
