Starbase

Tower of Fantasy is a cross-platform open-world action MMORPG released in late 2021 by Hotta Studio and Perfect World/Level Infinite. The game had major global hype at launch and is still relatively recent, but has settled into a smaller, but stable, core audience. As a gacha-driven MMO, it maintains a healthy user base due to ongoing updates, events, and cross-promotion though it is well past its initial peak. Based on the game's genre, developer support, and its recent activity on social channels, a conservative estimate would be 60,000–80,000 daily active players globally in 2024.

Starbase is a space sandbox MMO developed by Frozenbyte, released in mid-2021. While it launched with substantial interest due to its persistent world and complex building systems, the player base has sharply declined, likely due to slow content updates and limited mainstream appeal. Currently, daily active players are estimated to be very low—several hundred—based on recent activity trends and general online presence.
