The update at a glance: The new patch 1.56 is out for the Rust console edition and brings tons of improvements and bug fixes.

All contents from the Rust update 1.56 + novelties on the test servers
On the test servers of the Rust console edition, there is a lot of content to play, which is not yet available in the current update for the live version. To be able to play it, you have to search for "Rust Console Edition Public Test Branch" in the store of your console and download it. However, the PTB is only available for buyers of the Deluxe or Ultimate version of Rust on the consoles. If you haven't bought this version, you can upgrade with the "Dark Camo Combat" pack for €6.99 and get access to the PTB.
Now you can try out the electricity and many new items that will be released for the Rust console edition in the coming weeks and months.
