Outriders

Verdun is a niche WW1 multiplayer shooter released in 2015. While it has a dedicated community and benefits from the historical warfare niche, its player base is limited by its age, indie roots, and smaller-scale matches (not a mass-market shooter). Player numbers are likely modest but stable, estimated around 2,000 daily active players across all platforms.

Outriders is a co-op looter-shooter released in 2021 by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. While it had a strong launch, concurrent player numbers have declined significantly since release. The game is not an MMO, as it centers around instanced co-op play (groups of up to three), not a persistent open world with massive players. Based on trends typical for similar games 2-3 years post-launch, estimated daily active players are in the low thousands across all platforms.
