About Rust
Rust is developed by Facepunch Studios and published by Facepunch Studios; Steam lists its release date as Feb 8, 2018. (source)
Steam's store description: “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.” (source)
The Steam Web API figure is the number of players currently active in this app on Steam, so players on other stores or platforms are not part of it, nor players running the game while not connected to Steam. (source)
