How these estimates are made

Rust

We estimate that about 680,000 people play Rust on a typical day (most likely between 490,000 and 940,000), based on data from Nov 13, 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.

There

We estimate that about 190 people play There on a typical day (most likely between 44 and 570), based on data from Nov 13, 2026. Around 71,000 accounts (between 24,000 and 160,000) have played it at some point. There publishes no Steam player data, so the estimate is modelled from the size of its Discord, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and app-store communities. Confidence: low — a community-size model, not a measurement.
