How these estimates are made
Hytale
We estimate that about 8,500 people play Hytale on a typical day (most likely between 2,000 and 25,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 870,000 accounts (between 300,000 and 2,000,000) have played it at some point. Hytale publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
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.
