Facepunch Studios Ltd is a British video game developer and publisher headquartered in Birmingham, England, founded in June 2004 and incorporated on 17 March 2009 by Garry Newman.

[16] Facepunch stopped selling the Linux version of Rust in July 2018 and had officially dropped support for it by August 2019.

[17] Facepunch paired up with video game studio Double Eleven in 2016 to begin work on a console version of Rust.

[18] The developers struggled with performance and optimization of the game due to the difference between PC and console hardware.

[19] A pre-order beta test took place between 23 April and 6 May 2021, allowing for players to experience the console version before its expected release on 20 May 2021.

[24] The Voice Props Pack being released on 1 July 2021, offers a variety of disco-themed items, some sound recording capabilities and dance gestures.

[26] Chippy is a twin-stick bullet-hell shooter with destructible bosses that came out of the studio's Facepunch Prototypes program.

Newman stated Facepunch was working on a Garry's Mod sequel in late 2015 with a focus on virtual reality.

A public release was planned for the second half of 2021,[33] with a select group already having received early access to its closed beta.
