Rust Launches On PlayStation 4 And Xbox One This Spring, Currently In Closed Beta

Rust, Facepunch Studio’s hardcore survival MMO, will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this spring from developer Double Eleven, a UK-based studio working independently from the original PC developer.

The console version will feature the same unforgiving survival and PvP mechanics that the PC game is known for. Up to 100 players will fight for survival in a massive lawless post-apocalyptic island starting out with nothing but a torch and a rock.

“In Rust, there is one goal above everything else: survive. Conquer thirst and hunger, battle the elements, create clothing and stay safe against hostile forces including other players, scientists, bears, wolves or even succumb to fire, drowning or radiation poisoning. A game without rules, Rust doesn’t tell its inhabitants what to do. Players are free to be deceptive and aggressive with intense player vs. player combat, raiding and looting, but there is potentially even more to be earned with a team of friendly players by your side. In the struggle for survival and supremacy, players can build tiny cabins in the woods to huge scrap metal fortresses in an attempt to stay safe, as well as craft a variety of weapons, bombs and traps.”

The game is currently in closed beta testing which will run for the next couple of weeks. An official release date has yet to be announced but you can be sure that we’ll let you know as soon as word comes out. In the meantime, you can check out the official
