Survive a new platform
Rusthas been a pretty popular entrant in the survival game genre, and in a few weeks, console players will be able to get in on the action.
Revealed during today’s ID@Xbox showcase, survival gameRust Console Editionis coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 07, 2025. In a press release, publisher/developer Double Eleven describes the console version ofRustas a “separate experience from its PC counterpart,” specifically optimized for console players.
“Our Console Editions ofRustare certainlyRustas people know it, but under the hood – where we’ve spent the last few years – we’ve created an exceptionalRustexperience designed for consoles and their players,” said Double Eleven COO Mark South.
Rusthas players start out with nothing, waking up alone on an island, and leaves it to you to survive, possibly thrive, in the harsh and uncaring wild. Does this lead to a lot of running around naked and scared with a rock? Yeah, definitely, but there’s some fun to be had in that as much as surviving.
Eventually you’re able to craft objects, escalating from torches to actual assault rifles. The console editionhas looked pretty good when we’ve seen it in the past, and in a few weeks’ time, you’ll be able to test your own mettle in the wilderness ofRust.
