The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls

Monster Hunter Rise

The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls is a long-running mobile/social idol management game launched in 2011. It remains notable in Japan with an active niche fanbase, regular events, and ties to the broader Idolmaster brand, but is well past its peak popularity. Its daily active players are likely in the tens of thousands, supported by ongoing in-game events, but fallen off from earlier years. Not an MMO, as it lacks persistent world and massive real-time multiplayer interactions.

Monster Hunter Rise is a major action RPG by Capcom, released in 2021 for Switch/PC. Its playerbase peaked in its first year, with strong support for about 2 years due to expansions and seasonal content. As of mid-2024, population has declined but remains active, likely with around 20,000-30,000 daily players across all platforms due to ongoing appeal, co-op gameplay, and Capcom's franchise reputation.
