How these estimates are made

Astral Guardians

Not enough data collected to estimate this game yet.

Rust

Rust is estimated to have 300k – 1m players a day. Around 13m – 34m accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.
