War Thunder is a long-running vehicular combat MMO developed by Gaijin Entertainment, released in 2013. While player counts have declined since its peak, its cross-platform availability, regular content updates, and niche appeal in military vehicle simulation have helped it retain a loyal player base. It remains popular among strategy/shooter fans.

We estimate that Elite: Dangerous has currently around 13k players daily.
Elite: Dangerous, released in 2014 by Frontier Developments, is a space simulation MMO with a persistent shared galaxy, but its player base has declined since launch. The game maintains a niche but dedicated audience, especially after major updates; however, numbers have notably trended downward in recent years. Current estimated daily active players are likely around 13,000, reflecting its aging status, modest ongoing support, and competition from other space games.
