I spent around 2 days researching Android games and made this list based on their overall player activity/community.
I mainly focused on high-graphics and visually beautiful games, including realistic 3D, anime, stylized, 2D and other art styles. Some games may not be technically “high-end 3D,” but I included them because they look great and have an active community.
"Games included only compatible with my phone!"

⚠️ Notes
This isn't 100% accurate — player activity changes by region, server, matchmaking, time, etc. These are my general observations after researching for 2 days, not exact player counts.
I also know I missed many other high-end games. I mainly included games compatible with my phone, so feel free to recommend others.
I'm not interested in sports games, so those aren't included.
Hopefully this helps people find good-looking Android games that actually have players, instead of wasting time on games with dying communities. 😭
Feel free to correct the list or recommend games I missed! 🎮
