How to use Tier Insights

  • Tiers group MMOs by how we collect their player data so comparisons stay apples-to-apples.
  • Stats show the typical monthly population and activity inside each cohort.
  • Movers and the histogram surface where momentum is shifting within those cohorts.
What you'll find
  • Tier guide: plain-language summaries with typical population sizes and examples.
  • Tier stats: median, average, activity score, and how many MMOs sit in the cohort.
  • Histogram: population distribution by tier, plus an overall median reference line.
  • Per‑tier Movers: biggest month-over-month shifts inside each cohort.

Tier guide

We group MMOs by how their player data is stitched together so cross-tier comparisons stay fair. Use this as a cheat sheet before diving into the numbers.

  • Unified CrossplaySingle shared population across PC + console

    Massive live-service MMOs where players share the same servers across platforms. We consolidate console and PC telemetry so you can compare their total footprint.

    Median: 96,450 playersAverage: 2,850,939 playersExamples: Destiny 2, Albion Online
  • Split Platform GiantsBig titles with separate PC/console pools we reconcile

    Large MMOs whose populations are reported per-platform (PC, console, or region). We stitch those silos together to show an all-in monthly view.

    Median: 57,673 playersAverage: 97,959 playersExamples: FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Elder Scrolls Online
  • PC Multi-LauncherStandalone clients, Steam, and private shards

    Established PC-first MMOs scattered across multiple launchers or private servers. These community-driven worlds land in the mid-sized population band.

    Median: 1,062 playersAverage: 6,479 playersExamples: Age of Conan: Unchained, Age of Wushu
  • Steam-Tracked PCPrimarily measured via Steam telemetry

    PC MMOs whose active population is best represented by Steam data. They tend to be niche or legacy titles without a large cross-platform footprint.

    Median: 6,941 playersAverage: 7,798 playersExamples: EVE Online, Ashen Empires
  • Uncategorized (Work in Progress)Awaiting better coverage before slotting

    Games we surface while we gather more sources. We keep them separate until we have enough coverage to place them confidently.
