Rust Developer Receives Xbox One Dev Kits

Could we see a brand new game as part of ID@Xbox?

After the phenomenal success of Rust, which crossed 1 million sales on Steam Early Access, Facepunch Studios’ founder and Gary’s Mod creator Garry Newman has tweeted about receiving dev kits for the Xbox One from Microsoft.

“Just got our Xbox One devkits…cleverly disguised as Xbox Ones with a barcode on! Thanks @PhilWaymouth”

Could this signal the release of Rust for the console? It seems unlikely, since ID@Xbox’s parity clause makes it hard for some developers to bring previously released games to the console. Nonetheless, if it means a whole new game, we’d be completely fine with that.

Facepunch is still plenty busy with Rust, the survival sand-box title which sees players trying to kill each other while scavenging for essentials before finally using their heads and just working together. Sooner or later that happens, right?
