How to play Rust on cloud gaming
You can play Rust on cloud gaming by streaming your own game copy (BYOG) on a supported platform. Below, we explain how this method works and how to get started.
Bring your own game (BYOG)
If you want to play Rust on cloud gaming with your own copy, you can use a catalog-based service that supports it as a BYOG title on its subscription plans:
- Boosteroid: works with any plan
- GeForce Now: requires the Performance or Ultimate plan (Install-To-Play)
- Xbox Cloud: works with any plan (Stream your own game)
To use your own copy of the game, you need to link the store account where you own it to the cloud gaming service. Supported store versions can vary by service:
| Service | Supported store versions |
|---|---|
| Boosteroid | Steam |
| Xbox Cloud | Xbox Store |
| GeForce Now | Steam |
Once your store account is linked, you can open the service's catalog, select Rust, and start streaming in your browser or a supported app. Depending on the service, a brief cloud setup may be required before the first launch. The plan can also be used to stream other games you own that are available in the service's catalog.
On GeForce Now, Rust is an "Install-2-Play" title, so it must be installed on the GFN server before you can stream it. This happens automatically on launch and doesn't take more than a couple of minutes.
Rust is a "Stream your own game" title on Xbox Cloud Gaming, which means you need to own or buy the Xbox Store version to play it.
