Survival adventure title Rust has hit the one million mark since its launch onto Steam Early Access back in December, developer Gary Newman has revealed through Twitter.

Having been available on the Steam Early Access program for just over a month now, Newman revealed a Dropbox image referencing lifetime total units of 1,001,570, definitely a big success for the indie developer Facepunch Studios. The game has seen a wide variety of changes since its release, recently removing zombies to move itself away from similarities to Dean "Rocket" Hall's DayZ.

Currently Rust is available at a price tag of $19.99 on Steam, which has seen Newman recently reveal that the game pulled in "about 40 per cent of what GMod has made in about nine years." That is a lot of pantless stone murderers.
