How these estimates are made
Project Cataclysm
We estimate that about 260 people play Project Cataclysm on a typical day (most likely between 61 and 780), based on data from Nov 11, 2026. Around 58,000 accounts (between 20,000 and 130,000) have played it at some point. Project Cataclysm 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 11, 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.
