Rust, one of the most brutal multiplayer PC games of all time is making its way to consoles next year and people couldn’t be happier about the news.

Since launching in Early Access on Steam back in 2013, Rust has become one of the platform’s biggest games and it’s no wonder it’s making the leap to console.

The post-apocalyptic survival game’s official description reads as follows: “The only aim in Rust is to survive. To do this you will need to overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold. Build a fire. Build a shelter. Kill animals for meat. Protect yourself from other players, and kill them for meat. Create alliances with other players and form a town. Do whatever it takes to survive.”

Often described as a game-changer when it comes to just how brutal a game can be, Rust sees you overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold – as well as the threat of other players. Friend or foe, make your choice. Be an *sshole or a saviour. The world is your oyster.

Unfortunately we don’t know exactly when the game will be getting its console release, but it’s likely we’ll be seeing it before the launch of the next-generation of consoles. The Xbox Scarlett and PlayStation 5 will be launching Holiday 2020.
