Garry’s Mod, Rust Developer Tinkering With Xbox One And PS4
Garry Newman, who has gathered a following with the Source engine sandbox Garry’s Mod and, more recently, the online survival title Rust revealed today that his team, Facepunch Studios, is investigating new platforms. The developer announced that he is now in possession of Xbox One devkits.
Newman suggests that he’s considering Rust for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. “Neither have an Early Access program afaik - so anything we do is a while off,” he writes. Rust is currently in an Early Access phase, with over one million downloads. For more, check out a recent preview of Rust.

Our Take
Rust has been wildly successful, despite its unfinished state. It’s a concept that intrigues me, but one I’d rather experience in its finished form. I love the idea of independent publishing on consoles. I do not relish the idea of living room hardware becoming home to paid alpha and beta access, though.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
