Top 11 Most Played MMORPGs in 2024 | What MMOs You SHOULD Be Playing?!?

These are the most played MMOs in 2024.
Sauce:

The "best" MMO is subjective. Everyone will have a different opinion of what the best game in x genre is, but what is objective, indisputible fact, is player numbers. And today we're going to discuss what the most played MMOs are in 2024 - doing a mid year update.
Since a lot of these games don't have 100% concrete numbers - we're going to be using several metrics. Steam numbers, officially disclosed numbers, leaked numbers, addons, community sizes. It's worth noting that many of these games also have multiple launchers and release on a variety of platforms. Let's begin with..

This list is proof we haven't got a good MMO in ages.

[nbnetrum]

You know the genre is in dire straits if New World is still in the top 10.

[JohnSmithlol]

*sigh*

list has been the same for a decade now

[lyleholland]

Bro really took shots at the at TOF players while giving stats 😅

[staticregret]

Greatly appreciate the stats. Helps create a mental picture of where the games stand socially (mental note of ingame bots for some games).

[mramisuzuki]

You know mmo are in a dire state when I’m not the only person defending NGS in a MMObyte video.

[Noneya]

List of games where steam isn't their primary launcher so the steam charts mean nothing: Elder Scrolls Online, Black Desert Online, Tower of Fantasy, Runescape, Guild Wars 2, Albion Online, Final Fantasy XIV. So realistically these numbers provided on the steam charts are FAR lower than they should be for the games I mentioned. So take this entire video with a MASSIVE spoonful of salt.

[youngreckless]

I finally have a chance to play PC this coming Monday or Tuesday. Now I can finally try some of these games I’ve been missing out on.

[akiradennisM]

Nice vid, although i've pretty much played every MMO there is, can't wait to try out the upcoming ones (that are probably gonna be dissapointing), keep it up!

[sanderl]

The fact that you showed steam accounts playing the game

Oldschool runescape does not have 800 active players, it has over 100 000 active players everyday

[RonR]

Black Desert tortures its players, but here I am going back for more every single day 😢. I think I've aged a bit as well 👴.

[madmax]

there is one and only "real mmorpg". lineage 2

[erikventura]

SHOUTOUT FROM THE PHILIPPINES!!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[m__two]

Dragon Quest X is the only mmo that really stuck to me.

[BlakSheep]

nothing will ever beat wow at this point every mmo tried an failed the only other mmo by comparison was Rift an Final fatansy 14 but right now ff14 is the other option if u love a great story other than that its Wow there will never be another game of this magnitude hence why there at the top of the food chain since

[AndreWWars]

lets believe the RIOT will pull up the MMO we need ... not for me ... but for the sake of my children (they will be my Dungeon Minions)

[Reddstarz]

wow was so addicting back when it was my VERY first time playing it (my very first mmorpg) during burning crusade and then wrath of lich king. TERA came out and then it changes my whole perspective and expectation on MMOs. like graphics, character design, combat... But right now wow is okay if you're really bored and have nothing to play and trying to kill time with something to play.

[Blazemoth]

I love wow but I can't believe that even though it's still expensive to play, no one has made something that can compete with it.

[Speedlari]

Theres only one thing in my mind right now... is mrs stix in the house when you are recording these sketches? I feel like you do it when she isnt there so she isnt laughing and making you laugh xD

[FegioTell]

I didn't played a lot of MMO's but I didn't find the mood of GW2 in any other online game. It's way cheaper then other games in proportion of what it offers, but the most important thing is that it is designed to not be toxic in any way, you can't steal loot, you can't steal kills, everybody obtains what they deserve, no P2W at all, pvp extremely fair, and, besides all of this, the game content various is massive and the gameplay is an absolute fun.
