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
We estimate that War Thunder has currently around 50k players daily.
War Thunder is a long-running vehicular combat MMO developed by Gaijin Entertainment, released in 2013. While player counts have declined since its peak, its cross-platform availability, regular content updates, and niche appeal in military vehicle simulation have helped it retain a loyal player base. It remains popular among strategy/shooter fans.
