Can you get Rust for free on Xbox?

Rust is not available for free on Xbox. Interested customers have to purchase the game for $49.99 from the official Xbox store. However, there are always deals available throughout most of the year, and you can easily get your hands on this game for half the price.

Facepunch Studios also occasionally hosts free-to-play weekends. If you're unsure about making such a hefty purchase, we believe you should wait for such an opportunity to try out the game and then make a reasonable decision regarding the purchase.

Furthermore, the game requires an online multiplayer subscription to play on a console. Xbox users must have an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership or Game Pass Core membership to successfully avail the online live services offered in the game. Without an active online multiplayer subscription, there would be no content for players to access despite having ownership of the game.
