Minecraft remains one of the most popular games globally, supported by an enormous multi-platform user base and an active community. Despite its age (released in 2011), its sandbox, mod-friendly structure, and continual updates from Mojang/Microsoft sustain impressive engagement. Estimates suggest hundreds of thousands to over a million daily users across all platforms, so a conservative estimate is 700,000 daily active players.
Estimated Daily Players
~85 thousand
We estimate that Rust has currently around 85k players daily.
Rust is a popular multiplayer survival game released in 2018 by Facepunch Studios. Despite its age, it continues to maintain a strong player base due to frequent updates, viral streaming presence, and a devoted community. SteamCharts and third-party tracking consistently show around 80,000-90,000 daily active users on PC, with some console presence as well. The game thrives on large, persistent servers, but individual servers typically support 100-300 players, not the thousands seen in true MMOs.
