Another PS4 game is set to shut down this year, with a free PS5 upgrade offered to existing owners. Multiplayer survival game Rust will be going offline on last-gen consoles, including Xbox One, four years after launch as its current-gen version is released on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this summer. The PC version remains unaffected.
Developer Double Eleven has said that Rust won’t be playable on both current and last-gen consoles simultaneously, choosing instead to focus its attention on the PS5 version. PS4 players can claim the free PS5 upgrade whether they own a current-gen console or not, but won’t be able to continue playing as it is.
Rust PS5 will be available in standard, deluxe, and ultimate editions. Prices and release date will be announced in due course along with upgrade options.
As for when Rust will go offline on PS4, Double Eleven has said that support will end in late October. “To mark the occasion, we are planning something special: the ‘Wipe of Wipes,’ a memorable send-off to celebrate the legacy of old-gen,” the studio wrote.
Rust is currently full-priced on PS Store. We’ll update our readers if it goes on sale.

Update: The report below has now been confirmed.
Original story follows…
Reports have emerged that the next major Microsoft published game on PS5 won’t have the full game on disc, leaving players concerned. Following its acquisition, Bethesda has been putting game keys on physical discs in line with Microsoft’s policy, and it looks like Doom: The Dark Ages is getting the same treatment.
Some players have managed to get their hands on Doom: The Dark Ages ahead of release, confirming that the Xbox disc only carries game keys. There are some conflicting reports about the PS5 disc, but as pointed out by X user DoesItPlay, the cover states that an internet connection is required to play. Doom: The Dark Ages is single-player only.
A similar label was also slapped onto Indiana Jones discs, which didn’t contain the full game on PS5.
DoesItPlay claims that some early PS5 players have reported that they’re locked out of playing Doom: The Dark Ages without an internet connection, and screenshots circulating on ResetEra support that claim as they purportedly show that the game requires a download.
DoesItPlay reached out to Bethesda but didn’t receive a response.
If you’re worried that you’ll be buying a coaster, we advise waiting for release on May 15 to ascertain whether the full game is on disc or not.
