Rust on Twitch — competition and audience

ShooterRPGAdventureIndieSurvivalSandbox

Rust is a multiplayer survival game set on a procedurally generated island where players must manage hunger, thirst, and health while contending with hostile wildlife and other players. Starting with only a rock and torch, players gather resources, craft tools, weapons, and structures, and form or fight against clans in a persistent open world that resets on a regular wipe cycle. Originally developed as a clone of DayZ with Minecraft-style crafting elements, the game spent over four years in early access before its full release in 2018.

Should I stream Rust on Twitch?

7/100 · Closed off· 20 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. Rust has 127 streamers live, so you would open around #39 of 128 — far enough down the category that almost nobody browsing it would scroll to you, however many viewers it has.

About 771 of the 1,030 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 12 each if you split it with the 66 other English streams below them. You would start around #39, too far down for anyone browsing to find you.

Only 1,030 of the 2,492 viewers here (41%) are watching in English. 68 of the 127 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.
