The Sandbox is a blockchain-based virtual world and sandbox game that peaked in popularity during the NFT/metaverse boom around 2021-2022. Activity has dropped significantly since then, partly due to a wider decline in interest in crypto gaming and metaverse titles. It is still supported by Animoca Brands and has a steady, niche user base, but the current daily player count is relatively low compared to its peak. It does offer massively multiplayer elements but most spaces are instanced or event-driven, not a single persistent shared world.

Estimated Daily Players

~6.5 thousand

We estimate that Blade & Soul has currently around 6.5k players daily.

Blade & Soul is a fantasy MMORPG developed by NCsoft, released in 2012. It has seen a steady decline since its western launch peak, but retains a dedicated core in Korea and a smaller western audience. Supported by updates but considered past its prime. Major publisher and persistent world keep the player base stable, but numbers have dropped significantly from its peak.
