player increase why

[Zynee]

I was wondering, in the last 2 days, 100k more players started playing the game, is there some kind of event?

The number of active players in the last few months was 150k, now it is 250k in the last 2 days

[Zynee]

In fact, I noticed that yesterday the number of players reached all time peak

yesterday was force wipe so all servers wiped

Over the past two days, Rust has experienced a significant surge in player activity, with the player count increasing from approximately 150,000 to 250,000. This 100,000-player increase is notable, and several factors may have contributed to this rise:

Steam Winter Sale: During the Steam Winter Sale, Rust was available at a 50% discount, making it more accessible to a broader audience. Sales events like this often lead to a temporary increase in player numbers.
TECHRAPTOR

Holiday Season: The holiday season typically results in more free time for players, leading to increased gaming activity. This period often sees a rise in concurrent players across various games.

Content Creators and Streamers: Increased visibility from streamers and content creators can drive new players to the game. Collaborations and events featuring popular streamers can introduce the game to new audiences, contributing to a surge in player numbers.
GGSERVERS

While these factors likely contributed to the recent increase in player count, it's important to note that such spikes can be temporary. Player numbers may stabilize as the effects of the sale diminish and players return to their regular routines.
