The only aim in Rust is to survive. Everything wants you to die - the island’s wildlife, other inhabitants, the environment, and other survivors. Do whatever it takes to last another night.

Strong daily player base. Matchmaking and servers will be lively.
Currently at 20% of the all-time peak of 220,956 players.

No public concurrent-player API exists for these platforms. Other sites guess by scraping achievement timestamps or leaderboards. We won’t make up numbers. If the platforms ever ship a real API, real numbers will show up here.
