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
We estimate that Ingress has currently around 20k players daily.
Ingress, developed by Niantic and originally supported by Google, was a highly influential AR mobile game released in 2013. While it was extremely innovative and had a strong global community at launch, its player base has significantly declined after the launch of Pokémon GO (also by Niantic) and competing mobile AR titles. The game still maintains a dedicated niche audience, especially for in-person events, but most estimates suggest a current daily active player base under 25,000 globally.
