Ghost Recon Wildlands, a 2017 Game, uses P2P game lobbies.

It's still very popular because it's cheaper; no expensive servers to run for customers and they can still play if you eventually shut down your services.

Maybe not the big names, but it's still happening. I have at least one new-in-2018 game that I had to do some port forwarding for (Heart of Crown).
