Vanliga frågor
76,482 on Steam at the last check; 62,823 of them are on a server we track.
259,646 players at once, in January 2025 (Steam's monthly peak).
The live figure is Steam's own count of everyone running Rust. Monthly peaks come from SteamCharts' public history of Steam's numbers. The region and server-type split comes from polling every Rust server we track every few minutes.
Steam counts everyone with the game open, including people in menus, queues or loading screens and on servers we don't track. The server figure only counts players actually on a server we poll.
