Two of the best-selling games on Steam right now are Rust and the standalone version of DayZ. Both games are multiplayer survival simulators, with players scavenging for supplies to stay alive while fighting off A.I. and human enemies. DayZ and Rust offer very different experiences, though.
Rust's naval update has added boat building to the survival sandbox, allowing players to sail to a dangerous deep sea.
DayZ's latest console update seems tiny, but datamined files reveal what Bohemia is really preparing for 2026. Here's what players missed.
And festive events, exclusive skins and plenty of true Rust chaos await throughout December.
Rust sounds interesting to me. DayZ sounds awesome but I am a little tired of Zombie's.
i have both and tbh i really think rust is a game you need to have atleast 2 other friends playing with. you can go solo in dayz and have more fun doing it than in rust
Rust is what I play after I just ran 12 miles to find a backpack only to get shot in the face in DayZ. Rust seems more cartoonist while DayZ seems more realistic. Both are great but have distinct differences.
