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

~400

We estimate that Starbase has currently around 400 players daily.

Starbase is a space sandbox MMO developed by Frozenbyte, released in mid-2021. While it launched with substantial interest due to its persistent world and complex building systems, the player base has sharply declined, likely due to slow content updates and limited mainstream appeal. Currently, daily active players are estimated to be very low—several hundred—based on recent activity trends and general online presence.
