The research includes video games from May 2024. The list includes video games that were released during the data collection process, early access games, and games with overlapping platforms, released or announced on multiple platforms simultaneously. The research did not conduct a targeted collection of F2P Multiplayer video games. The dataset includes games with tags: Online, MMO, MMORPG, Multiplayer, MOBA, Battle royale, Online PvP, F2P. The collected information does not claim to be completely comprehensive and is considered intermediate in the planned research cycle.
A dataset of 5,109 video games was formed during the research. Of these, 3,912 do not have sufficient data on the payment model and the number of simultaneous users and are not included in the calculations. The final conclusions are based on 1,197 video games.
