The Castle Doctrine is an indie strategy/puzzle game released in 2014 by Jason Rohrer. It had a niche appeal and limited multiplayer features, with activity declining sharply over years. Due to game age, indie scope, and lack of recent major updates or promotion, the active player base is now extremely low—likely fewer than a dozen daily players.
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.
