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.
Estimated Daily Players
~2.2 thousand
We estimate that Black Squad has currently around 2.2k players daily.
Black Squad is a free-to-play online tactical FPS released in 2017. While it initially attracted attention as a Counter-Strike alternative, its player base has declined over the years due to genre saturation and competition from larger titles. As a shooter with moderate publisher support and based on current trends for similar games, an estimate of around 1,500–2,500 daily players is reasonable. It is not considered an MMO, as it lacks a persistent world and large-scale interactions typical of the genre.
