Escape from Tarkov

World War II Online is a very early MMOFPS released in 2001. It's notable for its persistent world and large map, but its age and niche audience have led to a decline in daily active players. The game still maintains a small, loyal player base, commonly measured in the low hundreds, thanks to its unique scale and historical appeal.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore survival shooter launched in 2017 that is developed and published by Battlestate Games. While the game saw significant popularity during its peak years and remains popular among hardcore shooter fans and streamers, its player base has gradually declined as the genre matured and competition increased, though major wipes and updates can temporarily spike player counts. It now maintains a steady, loyal daily base likely in the 40,000–80,000 range, averaging around 60,000 daily players based on industry trends and recent visibility.
