~850 thousand

We estimate that Pokémon Go has currently around 850k players daily.

Pokémon Go, launched in 2016 by Niantic Labs and The Pokémon Company, remains a leading mobile AR game. While its initial peak was much higher, it consistently maintains high active daily users due to ongoing events, strong brand recognition, and global reach. High engagement is reinforced through regular content updates and seasonal events, although numbers have declined from their 2016–2017 peak.

Estimated Daily Players

~100 thousand

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.
