⚠️ Important Caveats Before You Buy

🚫

PC and Console Edition are completely separate games

CRITICAL: Rust on PC (developed by Facepunch Studios) and Rust Console Edition (developed by Double Eleven) run on different codebases, map generation systems, and update schedules. PC and Consoles CANNOT play together under any circumstances.

ℹ️

Console crossplay between PS5 and Xbox works on Crossplay Servers

PlayStation and Xbox players can play together by joining servers designated with the Crossplay icon in the console server browser.
