It was a friend of mine that got me into Rust for the first time. He was building a PC and we were looking for good co-op games, and he loves crafting games of the Minecraft/Terraria variety. When he first brought Rust to me, my first thought was “ok, this is an Early Access game, so it’s probably broken.” Despite my better judgement, I agreed to plop down the cash for it and we dove in head first.
Rust is the most popular survival MMO on PC. With a daily concurrent player count of 130K, it is counted alongside the likes of GTA V, PUBG, and Apex Legends. We explored the highly customizable graphics menu of the game in our optimization guide which includes several options to customize the shadows, draw distance, etc.
Rust is among the most popular Steam games with ~100K concurrent players. Despite being in its 10th year, the game has received 375 content updates, with a guaranteed content patch every month, with no signs of slowing down. Following recent graphical updates, Rust features cutting-edge visual detail with over a dozen options to tweak quality/performance.
