How these estimates are made
Hedgehog Creek
We estimate that about 9 people play Hedgehog Creek on a typical day (most likely between 2 and 28), based on data from Nov 14, 2026. Around 5,100 accounts (between 1,800 and 12,000) have played it at some point. Hedgehog Creek 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 690,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 500,000 and 970,000), based on data from Nov 14, 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.
