RUST CONSOLE EDITION Is Coming Next Month
The day has come. The hit multiplayer survival game Rust is finally coming to consoles! As an early adopter, I remember Rust’s early days. It’s a pretty fun game especially when you have some friends to go into it with and I can’t wait to see how it plays on console. Arriving on May 21st, Rust Console Edition will be releasing both digitally and physically with a bunch of different tiers for gamers to choose from. The physical editions can be picked up at GameStop and Amazon, while the digital ones can be downloaded right from your console’s digital store.
Here are the available tiers (each includes base game):
Rust Standard Edition and Rust Day One Physical Edition ($49.99 USD)
Includes the Future Weapons and Tools DLC Pack.
Rust Deluxe Edition ($59.99)
Includes the Welcome Pack ($14.99 value), 3 days of early access, closed beta access, staging branch access, and the Future Weapons and Tools Pack.
Rust Ultimate Edition ($79.99 USD)
This is the definitive edition for big-time fans. It includes an upgraded version of the Welcome Pack, 1100 Rust Coins (a $10 value), and an Elite Combat Skin Pack.
The cool part about Rust Console Edition is that it’s a separate experience than what you may have played on PC, and it’s optimized as such too. Mark South, Chief Operating Officer at Double Eleven said, “Rust is and forever will be the baby and brainchild of Facepunch Studios, and we’re extremely grateful to be able to take what they’ve done and create our own console edition of their incredible game. Our Console Editions of Rust are certainly Rust as people know it, but under the hood - where we’ve spent the last few years - we’ve created an exceptional Rust experience designed for consoles and their players. We’re looking forward to hearing player feedback when fans can jump in later this spring.” I cannot wait to see what Double Eleven has in store. I haven’t played the PC version of Rust in years but I have watched its growth become enormous.
Rust Console Edition launches May 21 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
