SubSpace is a 2D space shooter game released by Virgin Interactive Entertainment (VIE) in 1997. When VIE was sold to Electronic Arts in 1998, the SubSpace license was not part of the deal, and consequently its official servers were shut down. However, some fans continued to play the game by self-hosting their own servers.

SubSpace is estimated to have 6 – 3k players a day. Around 6k – 540k accounts have played it in total. No Steam data is published for this game, so the range is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. It is a rough band rather than a measurement.
