Rust has been one of the biggest titles on Steam since its release in February of 2018. It's a fun multiplayer title whose gameplay revolves around players banding up and building bases as well as raiding other players in a world where only one rule prevails: the survival of the fittest.
But with the game being based so heavily on its multiplayer elements, players have long wondered when the game would start supporting multi-platform cross-play, or even cross-progression.
Is Rust cross-platform?
Most players perceive Rust as what Fallout 76 could have been. The game follows much of the same plot, dropping players into a barren post-apocalyptic world riddled with radiation. Differences arise when players are pitched against bears and wolves instead of Deathclaws, and the similarities resume again with the PvP aspect of the game.
But with PvP taking on such a major role, and players always being forced to hunt or escape from other players, a cross-platform skill gap could be a problem. So, whenever a player is unfairly hunted down or thinks killing another player was too easy, the question comes to mind whether your opponent was using the same input method as you or not.
