Can You Game Share Rust on Steam? Here's What You Need to Know

New Rust players may be wondering, "Can I game share Rust on Steam?" The short answer is no.

The Rust team removed this feature for good reasons.

In the past Steam's Family Sharing feature allowed you to share your game libraries with friends and family.

But Rust is no longer part of that program. Here's why:

• Preventing free play: The developers want you to buy the game to support its continued development and maintenance.
• Stopping cheaters and hackers: Family sharing made it easier for cheaters to create multiple accounts, making it harder to ban them from the game permanently.

If you want to play Rust with friends, the only option is to buy individual copies. This way you'll have full access to the game and be part of the community and development.

Remember, buying the game gives you access and funds future updates and server maintenance. It's an investment in the game's longevity and your gaming experience.
