How these estimates are made

Deadside

We estimate that about 3,600 people play Deadside on a typical day (most likely between 2,600 and 5,000), based on data from Nov 12, 2026. Around 920,000 accounts (between 720,000 and 1,200,000) 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: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.

Rust

We estimate that about 590,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 420,000 and 820,000), based on data from Nov 12, 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.
