Castaways

Veiled Experts is a competitive tactical shooter published by Nexon and released in May 2023. Despite some initial interest, the game did not achieve strong traction in the crowded tactical shooter market dominated by titles like Valorant and Counter-Strike. As of 2024, active player numbers have dropped significantly, with estimated daily active players in the low thousands or lower. Shooter games without a lasting esports scene or broad appeal tend to lose active players quickly after launch.

Castaways by Branch.GG is a sandbox adventure game available for web browsers, released in 2022. It has had some viral moments on social media and Twitch since launch, but as a small studio release, its daily player base is likely modest, in the low thousands, and has probably stabilized post-launch. Ongoing development and updates may keep a core community active, but the lack of a major publisher or wide platform presence constrains larger growth.
