Lots of discussion surrounding the updated Rust player model. Your model is updated, what your player looks like on Staging now will likely change for release in June. On the roadmap, we do have player customization scheduled to be released Q4 2026, allowing you to change your appearance.

We’re officially sponsoring @dreamhack Birmingham this March! 🎮 Why? Well, we want to invest in Birmingham more, but mostly, because the NEC is basically in our back garden. At the Facepunch booth, you can expect both a hands-on with s&box and Rust Mobile! Come say hello (or complain about being raided) from March 27–29. Get your tickets here: dreamhack.com/birmingham/

Rust going strength to strength! we just beat our all-time CCU, beating covid and all other significant events. For the past several months, we've been hitting new monthly records, this was a huge one we were unsure if we'd ever beat, not unless there was another global pandemic. Huge thanks to everyone supporting Rust. The team have worked tirelessly for the past 11 years on Rust. 2026 will be no different, lots of great things coming.

I've been a part of the animation team for Juno, and I wanted to share some of our process with you! I hope this gives you a bit of insight into animating heroes on @PlayOverwatch . It's a labor of love from every department - and the team has been ecstatic about the warm reception to our new support hero. Enjoy!
