Rust has been riding high lately, and that is directed to one more broken record for the endurance game. As per Steam Charts, Rust recently penetrated its past high of 134,483 simultaneous players with a stunning 244,394 simultaneous players.

Still, it’s an amazing number for the endurance game to hit, particularly since its standard pinnacle was around 50 to 100k preceding this expansion in prevalence. Rust’s Twitch strength gives no indications of subsiding.
