Pre-order Beta is almost here!

Hey everyone, good news! As you all probably know by now, we are approaching the start of the Pre-Order Beta, and the Double Eleven team is super excited to finally open up the gates once again!

On the 23rd of April at 10.00am UTC we will open our servers for PlayStation users. Keep your eyes on the countdown, once it reaches zero you will be able to join the game!

For Xbox we still don’t have an exact time frame yet, it will be coming in hot. Once we do we will let everyone know about it in a post similar to this one. It should not be long until we are able to announce it, but depending on how long it takes we might extend the beta for Xbox users only so we can make it fair for everyone, regardless of the platform you are playing in. We will also have new servers added to the pre-order beta for when Xbox is able to join to keep it fair. 

I know some of you have questions regarding the pre-order beta and how it’s going to work so I put a little FAQ in place with some of the most common ones we get.

FAQ  

How long will the Pre-Order Beta run for? 

A: The Pre-Order Beta will run from April 23rd to May 6th for PlayStation. And for Xbox we might need to adjust the date slightly but it will start very soon.

Will I need a key to access it like in the previous closed beta?

A: No. Once the beta starts, your account will be flagged and you will be able to participate if you purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate editions of Rust Console.

Was Rust Console Edition updated since the last Closed Beta test?

A: Yes. We made improvements during this period and we believe that the game should be more stable during this next test. Keep in mind that it’s still a network and staging beta so things might break and we might have some more adjustments to do leading to the release. This test will not necessarily represent the “day one” experience. 

Will I be able to stream and or make videos and share screenshots about the game?

A: Yes, as soon as the Pre-order Beta starts the NDA will be lifted and you are able to share all your videos and stream the game to your heart's content. We can not wait to see them! Just keep in mind that all the footage from the previous beta test is going to remain under NDA and it can not be shared.

I hope you all enjoy your time with the Pre-order beta for Rust Console Edition and we can’t wait to see everyone in the game. Thank you for all your support, we will keep working hard to make the game the best it can possibly be. Have a great day everyone!
