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
~18 thousand
We estimate that Unturned has currently around 18k players daily.
Unturned is a free-to-play survival sandbox game released in 2017 and known for its strong modding community. It retains a dedicated player base thanks to frequent updates and multiplayer support, but is past its peak. Based on current Steam charts and the typical retention for successful indie survival games, it's estimated to have around 15,000–20,000 daily active players across PC and consoles. Its multiplayer servers are large but not on the scale of traditional MMOs.
