It's been a long time coming, but survival fans are soon going to being able to play Rust on their home consoles.

The game has been out on PC for a whopping 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've had the release of the Deluxe and Ultimate Edition and we're now on the precipice of launch for the Standard version of Rust Console Edition. The release date and time has been confirmed, here is all the information you need to know.
