How these estimates are made
Citadel: Forged With Fire
We estimate that about 130 people play Citadel: Forged With Fire on a typical day (most likely between 29 and 370), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 180,000 accounts (between 140,000 and 230,000) have played it at some point. Citadel: Forged With Fire is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
Rust
We estimate that about 800,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 570,000 and 1,100,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 20,000,000 accounts (between 16,000,000 and 26,000,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: high — measured from a full day of Steam data, for a game played mainly on Steam.
