Rust, an online survival available since 2013, is experiencing a second youth in a way very similar to what happened to the popular Among Us: both exploded in fact for no particular apparent reason with word of mouth on the web, years after their original launch.
The title of Garry Newman (creator of Garry’s Mod) has become a phenomenon on Twitch, just like the multiplayer of 2020, thanks to the unexpected support of some celebrities on the net.
The game is at the center of the cyclone, in the most positive sense possible, thanks to its arrival on a special server OTV and Friends which involved, among others, the very popular Shroud.
By virtue of this initiative, Rust he has made $ 1 million in two days last week e doubled the record of users connected simultaneously January 7 (the precedent was only marked on January 3).
On the wings of enthusiasm, Newman and his team are ready to capitalize on the great attention of the PC audience and attract a new audience. on console.
Rust was announced in November 2019 in one version per Xbox One e PS4, on the occasion of X019 from Microsoft, and this release was initially scheduled for 2020.
However, these plans were skipped due to the slowdowns suffered by the studio responsible for the port (Double Eleven), but it seems it won’t take too much patience.
The ESRB, the body that classifies video games in North America, has indeed expressed their opinion about the game, and this passage, as you know, is traditionally the prelude to the announcement of a release date or the release itself.
Despite the postponement, the programs would not have changed, however: the tested versions are only those for PS4 and Xbox One, and there is no trace of Xbox Series X|S e PS5 although they are now the flagship platforms of Microsoft and Sony.
If you want to play Among Us on Switch to help your friends find the imposter (or cheat them, depending on the game), we recommend you take advantage of Amazon’s price on the Lite console.
