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

~300

We estimate that Artifact has currently around 300 players daily.

Artifact is a digital card game developed and published by Valve, released in 2018. Despite a strong initial push, the game saw a rapid decline in its player base shortly after launch due to a variety of issues, including monetization and gameplay concerns. Valve officially ceased major development in 2021 and made the game free, but daily active player numbers have remained very low since. Based on recent trends and available data from Steam, the daily player count is estimated to be in the low hundreds.
