How these estimates are made
Rust
We estimate that about 760,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 550,000 and 1,100,000), based on data from Nov 8, 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.
The Cube
We estimate that about 170 people play The Cube on a typical day (most likely between 39 and 500), based on data from Nov 8, 2026. Around 50,000 accounts (between 17,000 and 120,000) have played it at some point. The Cube 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.
