~200

We estimate that Starbase has currently around 200 players daily.

Starbase is a space-themed open-world sandbox developed by Frozenbyte, released in 2021. While it launched with interest due to its ambitious MMO-style features and full-destructibility, its active player base has declined steeply due to slow development progression and reduced communication. As a niche indie title, its daily players likely number in the low hundreds as of 2024.

Estimated Daily Players

~100 thousand

We estimate that Rust has currently around 100k players daily.

Rust is a well-known multiplayer survival game, released in 2018 by Facepunch Studios. It maintains high popularity on platforms like Steam due to frequent updates, Twitch presence, and a strong PvP-focused community. It typically sees tens of thousands of concurrent players, so 100,000 daily players is a reasonable estimate for 2024.
