Rust weekly reports
Every Monday we freeze the past week into a permanent report, with the headlines, the numbers against the week before and every chart.
What this report measures
This report aggregates public Rust server responses observed by GameSentry. Composition and live numbers count only servers that are online right now. The 7 day analyses average concurrent players hour by hour from our polling history. Private and deleted listings are excluded.
The hype index compares a group's share of players with its share of servers. A value of 2.0× means that group holds twice the players its server count would suggest, so players are actively seeking it out. Groups with fewer than 25 servers are left out to avoid noise.
Wipe schedules come from the tags a server publishes. When a server publishes none, we infer the cadence from the wipes we observed over the last 70 days and mark it as observed. Servers with neither are shown as not advertised.
Use the live Rust server browser to inspect individual servers, or read our Rust wipe schedule guide for more context.
