Anyway, multiplayer survival game Rust will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One this spring. Double Eleven, which is transferring the game from the PC, will release the console versions of Rust on May 21st.
Rust tasks you to stay alive in a dangerous open world. You will need to find resources, find food and build shelters. Up to 100 players can be on the same server, and how you interact (or avoid) is up to you. The PC version has exploded in recent months after some popular Twitch streamers started playing it. Rust had an average Steam player count of almost 118,000 at any given time in February.
O Rust Console editions will be a different experience than the PC version with a separate roadmap. Double Eleven plans to update the PS4 and Xbox One ports regularly with its own improvements, along with content from the original developer Facepunch. There will be support for cross-play for console versions, but you will not be able to log into the same server as PC players.
Getting Rust running decently on consoles was a lot of work, according to Double Eleven. He noted that previous PS4 and Xbox One units have CPUs equivalent to a MacBook Pro 2013, which is a far cry from what you need to run the PC version of Rust.
During the first test of the console, it took up to 45 minutes to load the huge game map. Double Eleven was able to reduce the loading time to about a minute, thankfully. Here’s waiting Rust will start even faster on PS5 and Xbox Series X / S.
Pre-orders are now open for Rust console editions. The standard version costs $ 50 and includes a pre-order bonus package with weapons and tools. The $ 70 deluxe edition includes early access and entry to the closed beta and some other benefits. Opt for the final $ 80 edition and you will have all the benefits of the other versions, along with 1100 Rust Coins and a special skin pack.
