The long-awaited console edition of Facepunch Studio’s Rust has been rated by the ESRB for Xbox One and PS4.
The ESRB rating mentions that the game will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with no mention of the next-gen consoles, though the game will likely be playable on the PS5 and Series X/S via backwards compatibility. With ratings announcements usually coming shortly before release, it seems likely we’ll get an official release announcement in the near future.
The announcement that Rust would be coming to consoles in November of 2019 came during the XO19 conference, with a planned release date of 2020. The popular survival game slipped outside of that window, with port studio Double Eleven shifting estimations towards 2021 in a December 2020 update.
“We’re sorry that we haven’t been able to bring you Rust on console in 2020 as planned,” the blog post reads. We know from all of the messages that you’re excited to play it and we hope that with the dawn of 2021 we can restore your trust as we edge closer to being able to share something with you.”
Rust originally launched all the way back in 2013, at the start of the survival game boom. It has recently seen a massive resurgence on Twitch, with top streamers like Hasan Piker and Limmy playing the game live.
CES 2021 officially kicks off today, and that means the biggest tech and accessory brands are showing off their new products hitting the market this year. Among them is HyperX, which today announced a brand-new compact keyboard, the Alloy Origins 60, as well as a new licensed charging station for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One controllers.
HyperX Alloy Origins 60
The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is the brand’s first 60% keyboard, meaning it has 60% of the keys that a standard keyboard does. The mechanical keyboard features a space-saving layout, letting you maximize desk space for mouse movement and more. Its compact form also makes it ideal for traveling. The Alloy Origins 60 uses HyperX’s red linear mechanical switches, which are known to be smooth and responsive, and they have exposed LED lighting that can be personalized. The keyboard also has a Game Mode and macro setting, with up to three profiles available with on-board memory.
The Alloy Origins 60 gaming keyboard will release on February 22 for $100 MSRP in the US. It’ll be available to buy directly from HyperX.
It appears that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s Zombies mode will have a free week coming up soon. CharlieIntel spotted a store page on Xbox that states a “Free Access” trial for Zombies will run January 14-21.
If that is indeed the case, an official announcement may not be far off. We have contacted Activision in an attempt to get more details and will update this post with anything we hear back.
Presumably the Free Access trial for Zombies, if it is real, will also be available on other platforms beyond Xbox. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.
You might think OLED TVs are in a tight spot with Samsung Neo QLED and TCL Mini LED TVs coming to market soon, but LG is here to show you its emissive displays still have a few new tricks.
LG has announced a new G1 Series with OLED Evo technology that promises to deliver greater luminosity for a brighter picture with punchier colors. The new LG G1 Series is also an elegantly thin panel display, making it perfect for wall mounting. Alternatively, this 4K TV also comes with a standing tripod base so it can stand at eye-level without need any TV console.
LG G1 Series
On top of announcing a new series of screen, LG has also updated its flagship CX Series with the new C1 Series. Whereas last year LG announced a compact 48-inch option to act as a gaming monitor, this year there’s a new 83-inch version for users looking for the biggest OLED screen possible.
LG’s 2021 TVs also come with a new bag of gaming tricks including a 1ms response time and low input lag. There’s also a new Game Optimizer that applies the best picture quality depending on the type of games you’re playing while also placing all game-related settings in one place. LG’s TVs also come with G-Sync, FreeSync, and Variable Refresh Rate support.
LG C1 Series
Both the new G1 and C1 Series TVs come fitted with an α (Alpha) 9 Gen 4 AI processor for deep learning enhanced sound and audio. AI Picture Pro removes noises and optimizes picture quality, and it can use scene detection to improve picture quality based on the scenes you’re watching. AI Sound Pro adds virtual 5.1.2 surround sound to boost the quality of the LG’s TV speakers.
