It’s been a long time coming, but survival fans are now incredibly close to being able to play Rust on their home consoles.
The game has been out in some form for over seven years now, releasing in early access all the way back in 2014, before getting a full release in February of 2018.
Following the full release, developers Facepunch confirmed there would be a console version, however, due to COVID and other issues, this was delayed for a prolonged period of time.
Thankfully, we’re now on the precipice of launch and the Rust Console Edition release date and time has been confirmed, here is all the information you need to know.
