Here's a core slice of the Metaverse Universe chart just updated for Q4 2022, from longtime virtual world analyst Nic Mitham. (Click here for the full version from his analyst firm, Metaversed.) When I blogged his Q1 2022 chart, the total number of monthly active users (based on publicly available data) was just under 500 million.

- Roblox (202M MAU)
- Minecraft (174M MAU)
- Fortnite (81M MAU)
- Zepeto (22M MAU)
- Avakin Life (11M MAU)
- Rec Room (7M MAU)
- IMVU (7M MAU)
- VRChat (4.5M MAU)
- AltSpace VR (1M MAU)
- Second Life (1M MAU)
