How these estimates are made
Crimson Desert
No estimate yet — collecting data since Nov 5, 2026.
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.
