Rust is available natively for Intel Macs. To play the game on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2) you need the porting utility Rosetta.
It’s easy to purchase and start playing right away, you’ll just have to make sure your Mac is up-to-spec to run this game smoothly.
Rust is a captivating multiplayer survival video game. It made its debut in December 2013 as an early access title and was fully released in February 2018 – including on Mac OS.
In Rust, your sole objective is to survive amidst a relentless world. Every element, whether it’s the island’s wildlife, fellow inhabitants, or the unforgiving environment, conspires against you. Adapt and persevere to see the light of another night.
PC Gamer aptly describes the game as, “one of the cruelest games on Steam, and that’s what makes it so compelling.”
Can I Play Rust on Mac?
Yes, you can play Rust natively on Mac. If you have an Intel-based Mac you can run it straight away, but with any Apple Silicon based Mac (M1, M2) you will need to install a utility called Rosetta.
The game is also available on Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac you’ll need to download Rosetta 2 before launching the game.
Rosetta 2 empowers Macs with Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2) to seamlessly run apps designed for Intel-based Macs. Whenever you launch an app exclusively built for Intel-based Macs, Rosetta automatically operates in the background, effortlessly translating the app for compatibility with Apple Silicon. You can enjoy the convenience of opening and using your apps as you normally would.
