How these estimates are made
MineColonies
We estimate that about 1,100 people play MineColonies on a typical day (most likely between 260 and 3,300), based on data from Nov 10, 2026. Around 200,000 accounts (between 67,000 and 450,000) have played it at some point. MineColonies 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 590,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 420,000 and 820,000), based on data from Nov 10, 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.
