Icarus Online (also known as Riders of Icarus) is a South Korean MMORPG first released in 2014. While it once had a moderate player base, the game has seen significant declines due to age (over 10 years old), limited Western popularity, publisher changes, and minimal recent updates. However, a small core community still persists on its official and private servers.
Estimated Daily Players
We estimate that Rust has currently around 100k players daily.
Rust is a well-known multiplayer survival game, released in 2018 by Facepunch Studios. It maintains high popularity on platforms like Steam due to frequent updates, Twitch presence, and a strong PvP-focused community. It typically sees tens of thousands of concurrent players, so 100,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate for 2024.
