Rust is a multiplayer survival shooter, one of the most popular indie games on Steam ever by player count over the last few years (regularly in the top 10 most played of all games too), ~9 years old and has had >300 content updates now with something new every month. It has a ‘very positive’ Steam review rating (from >600k reviews). It also became one of the most streamed games of all time in Twitch, in its 8th year, and has become a streamers’ favourite. We have a close partnership with our vibrant community of content creators, skin designers, mod makers, server operators and more.
Rust: Console Edition is developed and published by Double Eleven and brings the Rust experience to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. You can check it out here.
About the game
The only aim in Rust is to survive. Everything wants you to die - the island’s wildlife and other inhabitants, the environment, other survivors. Do whatever it takes to last another night.
Rust is in its 9th year and has now had over 300 content updates, with a guaranteed content patch every month. From regular balance fixes and improvements to AI and graphics updates to adding content like new maps, musical instruments, trains and drones, as well as regular seasons and events, there’s always something interesting or dangerous (or both) happening on the island. Updates to the game include:
Procedurally generated worlds with map editor support
Host your own servers and with server-side modding support
Vehicles: horses, modular cars, hot air balloons, helicopters, trains and more
Complex electrical systems
Farming
New enemies, wildlife and factions
New monuments and areas to explore
Gestures and contact system
Musical instruments
Large train network
Huge graphics overhauls
..and more
EXPLORE
You wake naked on a mysterious island armed only with a rock and a torch. You’ll need to brave natural dangers (from heat and cold to thirst and starvation), build a shelter, eat (or be eaten), scavenge materials. Explore the island, its abandoned settlements, mysterious monuments and the factions that occupy them. But, above all, watch out for other survivors...
BUILD
Design and build bases to defend your territory or control the resources of the island. Research the tech tree, grow farms, command electricity, commandeer vehicles from horses to cars to boats to helicopters. Whatever it takes to get ahead.
SURVIVE
There are no rules in Rust but the ones you make for yourself. Craft tools, armor and weapons to defend yourself. Cooperate with friends and allies and build a town together. Explore the island and what’s happening in it. Trade with other players. Or prey on them, raiding their bases and taking their hard-won goods.
“Rust is one of the cruelest games on Steam, and that's what makes it so compelling.”
“Usually, people will just kill you on sight, but not always.”
“I've never had my feelings hurt in a video game like they were hurt playing Rust”
