Ark: Survival Evolved

Vigor is a free-to-play online shooter developed by Bohemia Interactive, released in 2019. It has maintained a niche but stable player base, especially on consoles, due to its unique survival and looter-shooter gameplay and ongoing updates. However, as a session-based instanced game rather than a persistent world, its daily active players are modest compared to larger titles.

Ark: Survival Evolved is a popular survival sandbox game released in 2017 and available on nearly all platforms. Its peak was several years ago, but it maintains a stable community thanks to official and community servers, modding, and occasional event content. While numbers have declined since launch, the game still sees tens of thousands of daily players across PC and consoles, especially due to its ongoing updates and active mod scene. However, it is not an MMO as it does not feature a single, large-scale persistent world—servers are capped and players are sharded.
