How these estimates are made

H1Z1

We estimate that about 6,000 people play H1Z1 on a typical day (most likely between 1,400 and 18,000), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 560,000 accounts (between 190,000 and 1,300,000) have played it at some point. H1Z1 publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from 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 820,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 590,000 and 1,100,000), based on data from Nov 7, 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.
