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

~20 thousand

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.
