Even though the console version of Rust was announced in 2019 it's not been until a month or so ago that we have had news about it. The game was originally scheduled for a 2020 launch, but it didn't make it. It seems that 2021 will definitely be the year to play rust on consoles though. The game has received a rating on the ESRB website for its console version and we could say that it will please the fans. Rust received an "M" rating, which indicates that it's suitable for ages of 17 and up. It's not surprising at all, especially if we read the description of the game on the ESRB website, which highlights some of the points that have made Rust so popular over the years.

"This is a multiplayer first-person survival game in which players compete to survive in a hostile environment. Players explore the open-world environment, gather resources, create weapons (e.g., spears, machine guns, explosives), and defend themselves from wild animals and other players. Players can attack and kill enemies in frenetic combat, with successful hits resulting in large splashes of blood. Players can keep shooting animals or humans on the ground (i.e., postmortem damage), accompanied by large blood-splatter effects. Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire and explosions. When human enemies are killed, they can be harvested for body parts and cooked for food."

As you can see, the console version of Rust won't dilute the high level of violence in the game, which it's exactly with many of its players love about the game. Rust was released in 2013 and it can be considered quite a healthy game even today, with an impressive number of players on Steam. The popularity of the game will probably increase when it's launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Sadly, there won't be a version of Rust specifically designed to take advantage of PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
