Update 1.52 for Rust Console Edition is now available for download and while it doesn't introduce many significant changes, the latest version brings major bug fixes across gameplay, monuments, UI, and others.

The popular co-op survival video game has become a staple of the genre since its early access debut in 2013. Throughout the next five years, until its 1.0 launch in 2018, the active player base and Facepunch Studios shaped the game into what it is today. Rust made its way to Xbox One and PS4 in 2021.

With that said, let's take a look at the bug fixes in the Rust Console Edition 1.52 update.
