Escape from Tarkov

Valhall is a Viking-themed action RPG developed by Blackrose Arts, released in 2020. It generated some initial interest due to its premise, but as a niche indie title with limited publisher reputation and delayed development cycles, it has seen significant player dropoff. Its online modes have attracted small, sporadic communities, but it has not attained or maintained large-scale popularity. Current daily active players are likely very low, reflecting the game's age and lack of major updates.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore tactical shooter with survival and RPG elements, released in 2017 by Battlestate Games. Despite being several years old and not yet fully released as a 1.0 version, it retains a strong, dedicated player base due to its unique, high-stakes gameplay loop and regular content wipes. However, its niche appeal and high difficulty prevent mass market adoption, leading to a moderately sized but stable daily active player count.
