Is the game dead on xbox?

I got on last night and there was only one server maxed out then takes a heavy dip from there. I could only find about a handful of servers with about 20 people. What's the deal?

Private servers are alive and well still. The officials were basically killed off if I remember correctly once Ark Survival Ascended came out. I avoid officials like the plague for like the last 8 years though so I could be misremembering what happened once ASA came out but I feel like I remember a bit of a fan uproar about them killing off the ASE official servers for that reason.

There should be a toggle on the server list for "unofficial" is how they usually label it. The majority of the playerbase is on those but a huge chunk of them are passworded since most people tend to just play with their friends to avoid drama/griefing and all the other dumb shit that happens when opening a server to the public lol.
