PlayStation and Xbox game bought by 12.5 million closes forever in two days and will be unplayable unless you upgrade
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CONSOLE owners risk being locked out of a hit video game forever – with just days left to dodge the closure. A popular title snapped up by millions of players is due to be deleted from online console stores this week, before being totally shut down on select machines later in the year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Rust will soon go offline if you don't upgrade Credit: Double Eleven 5 You'll need newer consoles to play the title Credit: Sony PlayStation Players of survival game Rust have been warned to check their consoles as soon as possible. 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. "Players will have until the end of October to transition to the new and improved version of Rust Console Edition, which is expected to launch sometime this summer," Silva explained. "Just to be clear, the release date is not May 29, 2025. "We still need a bit more time. More will be announced in the future. Thank you for your support!" WHERE CAN YOU PLAY RUST? Here's what you need to know... Current versions: Windows PC macOS PlayStation 4 Xbox One Upcoming versions: PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X Xbox Series S Picture Credit: Double Eleven This means that new players who want to try the game won't be able to until the next-gen version comes out. 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. The title tasks players with surviving in a brutal and unforgiving wilderness – where you need to gather and steal materials, as well as avoiding starvation, death, and other players. 5 The survival game has a loyal fanbase that still play regularly Credit: Double Eleven Rust landed to mixed reviews but sold more than 12.5 million copies, many of which are loyal fans of the game. Gamers keen to keep playing the title on consoles will have to upgrade their versions. And game-makers at Double Eleven have teased what the new PS5 and Xbox Series X/S releases will look like. "The game will be available in three editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate," Double Eleven, a British studio responsible for the console version, said in a statement. OTHER GAME CLOSURES COMING UP Here's what to watch out for... MultiVersus - May 30 xDefiant - June 3 The First Descendant - June 19 Black Desert - June 26 Resident Evil ReVerse - June 29 Madden NFL 21 - June 30 Arizona Sunshine - July 1 Skyworld - July 1 Danmachi Battle Chronicle - September 29 WWE 2K24 - September 30 Madden NFL 22 - October 20 PGA Tour 2K21 - October 30 NBA 2K24 - December 31 "We'll reveal the perks and prices for each edition soon, along with upgrade options if you want to switch editions on the same platform."
