Rust
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.

Concurrent players on Steam, one reading a day at about 15:00 UTC since Aug 16, 2026. Before then readings were taken at different times of day, spanning 9 hours, and Steam concurrency runs about 1.8x higher at its daily high than at its low — so some of the movement across that stretch is the clock, not the game.
