What is Rustown?

Rustown is a story-driven stealth adventure from Plotrick, set five years after a pandemic caused by the so-called “idiot virus”. Many survivors were left with lasting memory and cognitive problems, and after being pushed out by their families and society, they gathered in a slum called Rustown.

You play Jian, whose father caught the virus and disappeared three years ago. She believed he was dead until a letter from him arrived, sent from Rustown. To find him, she heads into a lawless city beyond the reach of the authorities, where gangs of the uninfected clash with gangs of the infected.

When is the Rustown release date?

It launches on 30 June 2027, according to Xbox Wire’s ID@Xbox x IGN showcase recap (20 October 2026). The Xbox Store listing still shows a placeholder date.

Is Rustown on Game Pass?

Not so far. No Game Pass deal has been announced, and the Xbox Store listing doesn’t include it in any Game Pass plan. We’ll update this page if that changes.

Which Xbox platforms is Rustown on, and is it Play Anywhere?

It’s listed for Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Xbox Store listing includes Xbox Play Anywhere, so one digital purchase covers both your console and the Xbox PC app.

How much will Rustown cost?

Xbox pricing hasn’t been announced yet. When we checked on 9 November 2026, the Xbox Store listing had no purchase option or price, which is normal before pre-orders open. We’ll add the price in pounds and dollars once it’s listed.

Does Rustown have achievements?

Not confirmed yet. The Xbox Store listing doesn’t show Xbox achievements so far, and no list has been published. We’ll add the count once Xbox confirms it.

What are the key features?

  • Stealth without combat: observe, time your moves and stay hidden
  • Tools and tricks to create openings
  • Meet Rustown’s residents and factions to piece the story together

Everything we’ve written about the game is in one place on our Rustown hub, and we’ll keep this page updated as more is confirmed.
