As discovered by PCGamesN, SteamCharts showed that the game attracted 244,394 concurrent users on Steam. The record was actually set at 21:00 GMT on Saturday, January 16. At the time of writing, Rust actually ranks fourth in the number of concurrent players on Steam, second only to Valve’s own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2. And the popular battle royale game Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds.
According to SullyGnome, this was after the Twitch live broadcast. At the beginning of this month (January 8th) 1,373,791 people watched the survival game.
Due to the large number of streamers including Shroud, XQc and Myth playing games on Offline TV servers, Rust’s popularity has surged in the past few weeks. This has also made the game one of the best-selling games on Steam, even among the top ten on Steam in the past two weeks.
Facepunch first introduced Rust to Steam Early Access in 2013, and its 1.0 version was launched in early 2018. On XO19, Facepunch revealed that Rust is about to be released on PS4 and Xbox One, taking into account the 2020 release date. Obviously, we are over now, but it seems that this game is still expected to be available this year as scheduled and has been rated by the ESRB.
