How these estimates are made

Rust

We estimate that about 590,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 420,000 and 820,000), based on data from Nov 10, 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.

Synced

We estimate that about 190 people play Synced on a typical day (most likely between 44 and 560), based on data from Nov 10, 2026. Around 180,000 accounts (between 140,000 and 230,000) have played it at some point. Synced is on Steam, but Steam covers only part of its players, so the estimate also draws on the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
