The developers have also said that despite cross-play, they view the console edition as a separate game from the PC version and that the update roadmap will follow its own path. The differences between these two particular versions are so striking that it actually affects your ability to take advantage of cross-play. It's not unreasonable for a title like Rust to release without parity between console ports and their PC predecessors. I honestly can't help but wonder if this boost in interest in the game didn't have something to do with the sudden release of a console edition that clearly needed a little more time and work. It was a well-timed boost, with the console launch looming around the corner. In early 2021, however, that changed as the game saw a pickup in exposure courtesy of some large live streams. While Rust has had a reasonable degree of success on PC, the game really struggled to break out into the mainstream.

While you can narrow your server options down to show servers for the console you're currently playing on, you're still ultimately going to be paying full price for an inferior product.
When it all boils down, playing cross-play with PC players has those on console at an actual disadvantage. These updates aren't just quality of life improvements like the "softcore" mode that PC players can currently enjoy, but actual functionality for various weapons and equipment.
The console edition of Rust is actually a few years behind the current PC version concerning updates. Official servers are labeled with their region, so you do have the benefit of looking for the ones that you're more likely to have a good connection with. I would be remiss to complain about micro freezing and texture pop-in without actually acknowledging that this was not just a bad connection to a single server. While I wasn't ready to deal with that sort of onslaught, I could have at least managed to engage in some means of self-perseverance if the game did not freeze up for as much as 20-30 seconds every time another player came anywhere close to me. In one encounter, the player who killed me approached me with a firearm. It would be easy enough to just shrug off the antics of an unchecked player base if it weren't for server stability issues that make your low chances of survival plummet even further.

The game encourages the use of an open mic, further ensuring that you're fully subjected to the worst of what 100 random people on an open server have to offer verbally. They're out for blood, hunting other players for sport, and they say whatever they please, knowing there are no in-game means for reporting them for doing so. Rust's lawlessness encourages the worst in a player base that can often be toxic. You're thrown hopelessly into the game with no tutorials or explanations. You're forced to play either on an official server or on a private server that you pay to rent. Rust does not offer personal save files where you can congregate with just your friends or play alone safely while learning the ropes. The elements, the animals, and - most importantly - the other players. But I shortly found myself bashed in the head with a rock by another scantily clad player who had just spawned.Įverything in Rust wants to kill you. The next spawn saw me in a slightly safer locale, at least as far as potentially deadly livestock went. During one of my earliest attempts at the game, I spawned into a river where another player attempted to hunt a horse, only for the spooked horse to hit and kill me immediately.
