Official or not
Rust's in-game Official tab against everything elseOfficial servers are the ones in Rust's in-game Official tab: Facepunch's own and its partners', such as RustSpain. Rust Dashboard keeps that list by hand, by hostname and address. Everything else is a community or modded server.
Right now 90,376 people are on public Rust servers, with 947 more waiting in queues. We refresh every five minutes. Below the live total you get the last day, the last few months, the day's peak of 98,991, and the record of 145,095. Then the same players split by game mode, modded or vanilla, group size, gather rate, region and how recently the server wiped. Most players sit on a small share of the 11,797 servers.

Questions
4 questionsHow many people are playing Rust right now?
90,376 players are on public Rust servers at the moment of the last refresh, which happens every five minutes. That number moves through the day, so treat it as a snapshot rather than a fixed figure. The peak so far today is 98,991.
Why does this differ from the count on Steam?
Steam counts every copy of Rust that is running, including players in the menu or loading a server. This page counts only players reported by public servers. Servers that do not list themselves publicly are not included.
Which servers hold most of the players?
A small number of servers hold a large share of everyone online. The rest of the 11,797 servers carry the remainder between them. The split by server type on this page shows where the players concentrate.
What time of day is Rust busiest?
The busiest hour is the European evening, when players from Europe and North America overlap. The quietest hours fall in the early European morning. The chart of the last day shows the shape for your own reading.
