How these estimates are made
Rust
We estimate that about 820,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 590,000 and 1,100,000), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 20,000,000 accounts (between 16,000,000 and 26,000,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: high — measured from a full day of Steam data, for a game played mainly on Steam.
Star86
We estimate that about 78 people play Star86 on a typical day (most likely between 18 and 230), based on data from Nov 7, 2026. Around 20,000 accounts (between 6,700 and 45,000) have played it at some point. Star86 publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
