    Is Rust Cross Platform or Crossplay Enabled for Different Devices?

    Thrown into the barren land with nothing but your crafting skills to survive, Rust offers an unforgiving environment where players strive to dominate their opponents. From radiation to AIs to random players trying to hunt you down, one must always be prepared by crafting the most defensive positions. 

    But if you aren’t in awe of getting crushed by the unforgiving players on the island, you can always choose to play against your friends. Fortunately, Rust is available on all the major gaming platforms out there on the market. But, is Rust cross platform supported? Does it allow you to invite your friends to play when they are on a different gaming platform than yourself? Hang on tight, we’re answering the query shortly. 

    What platforms does Rust Support? 

    The early access of Rust dropped in 2013 and it has been evolving ever since. In 2018, Facepunch Studios, the developers behind this incredibly enjoyable survival game, released the final version of the game. At present, Rust can be played on Microsoft Windows, Playstation 4, Xbox One, Linux, macOS, and Macintosh Operating System. 

    Moreover, Rust is also made available for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. As a result, it is available on all the major gaming platforms on the market. Compared to earlier versions of the console, Rust offers a 60-fps lock with upgraded visuals on next-gen consoles. This is a significant improvement over previous generation consoles. 

    Is Rust still alive? 

    It has been a while since Rust has hit the shelves. Yet, Rust is very much alive! It is a one-of-a-kind survival game with all the elements of a truly wonderful game. In the last month alone, Steam charts have shown that Rust received upwards of 100k players. Even after years of its release, Rust is close to the hearts of many. The game has seen a decline in numbers compared to previous years. Yet, Rust is likely to be in the gaming spheres for a very long time.

    Does Rust Support Cross-platform?

    Moving on to the million-dollar question, Rust supports cross-platform play for consoles only. This is the same cross platform support that is offered in Hunt Showdown. Meaning that Playstation players can invite and play alongside Xbox players. However, Rust does not offer crossplay between PC and console users. The main reason is that the PC players would have a significant advantage over the console players since they use the combo of a keyboard and a mouse which is far more flexible compared to a controller.

    Rust also supports cross-gen play which allows players to play with other players using a different version of the console of the same console family. In simpler words, the previous-gen consoles players can invite the players who own the next-gen consoles. 

    Can your crossplay Rust Between PS4 and PC? 

    Rust lacks the crossplay functionality for PC and hence, PS4 and PC players cannot play with each other. Aside from technical aspects, the maintenance costs are significant since there’s a huge Rust community that plays through PCs. And integrating such a big number on similar servers as PS4 would result in degraded performance and unsatisfactory gameplay. 

    Furthermore, there’s always a threat of cheaters and hackers involved and in a game such as Rust, it can anger the games. Further, as we mentioned earlier, there would also be considerable technical advantages that PC players would have over PS4 players. The console players would be unfairly treated, and it would also rob the game of its fun.

    Is Rust Cross Platform Between PS4 and Xbox One? 

    Yes, Rust offers cross-platform play for consoles and hence, PS4 players can play alongside Xbox One players. Since both the consoles have similar characteristics, the gameplay would be fair and both parties could enjoy the fun nature of the game. The Rust’s crossplay functionality made the game even more popular among its peers and it is one of the reasons behind the game’s continued success. 

    Can you crossplay Rust Between Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S? 

    Due to the game’s functionality with cross-gen play, Xbox One players can invite a friend over who owns an Xbox Series X/S. Ever since the release of the next-gen consoles, Xbox Series X/S and Playstation 5, Rust can be cross-played between the two different platforms of the same console family. 

    Similar to the Xbox family, Playstation 4 players can also play Rust alongside Playstation 5 players as well. Not having enough fun playing with strangers, Rust is console friendly and you can invite a lot of your friends to play alongside you. 

    Conclusion 

    Rust is the most successful survival/crafting game of the era. It has a global fan base that spans every continent. As fun as it is to play Rust with strangers, it is even more fun when you play it with friends. Rust’s cross-platform capabilities enable players from different platforms to join together and have fun, which is priceless.
