The game came out as an "early access" title back in 2013 before its official release in 2018. But game-makers say the "old-gen" version of Rust that was created for the PS4 and Xbox one is due to be taken down from online stores imminently That means from May 29, 2025, the game will no longer be available to download for new players. And the game will become totally unplayable after "the final wipe", which is scheduled for later this year. That means even owners of the game will be locked out. "Starting May 29, 2025, the old-gen version of the game will no longer be available in platform stores," said Rust official Pedro Silva. "If you already own it, you can keep playing until the final wipe, which will wrap up in October. "We're planning to make that one something special." TIME TO UPGRADE? To keep playing, you'll need to have a next-gen console. Get an inside look at the new PS5 30th anniversary edition And you'll also need to upgrade to the newer version of the game, which was made for the Xbox Series X/S or the PS5 (recently price-hiked). Fortunately for owners of newer consoles, you'll be able to get the actual game upgrade for free. That means you won't need to pay out any extra money (beyond what you've paid for the pricier console). Sadly game bosses haven't confirmed exactly when the release date for this upgrade will arrive – but it won't be far off. 5 Rust has been snapped up by millions of players Credit: Double Eleven However, it won't be out in time for the May 29 store shutdown.

And existing Rust players will need to upgrade before the older-generation title is killed forever. GONE RUSTY? Multiplayer survival game Rust first came out on consoles in 2021, just three years after it fully launched on PC.

Game bought by 12.5 million is shutting down for PlayStation and Xbox fans unless you upgrade by ‘final wipe' deadline
