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.

Estimated Daily Players

~5 thousand

We estimate that Anvil Empires has currently around 5k players daily.

Anvil Empires is a relatively new open-world, sandbox RTS developed by Siege Camp (known for Foxhole). Released in 2023, it maintains a niche but active player base due to its persistent world and social warfare elements. Though not a mainstream hit, its MMO-like gameplay and community events draw several thousand daily active users. Player numbers are consistent with similar indie MMOs a year after launch.
