Rust Mobile Beta Set for 2024 Launch

• Rust Mobile's first closed beta launches in November
• It follows an exclusive showcase at Gamescom
• The mobile version is the official adaptation of the popular original game

Eager to get your hands on the mobile version of the hit survival shooter Rust? The wait might be shorter—or longer—depending on your location. The first closed beta for Rust Mobile is scheduled to go live on November 1st.

If you were at Gamescom in Cologne this month, you may have already tried it. Rust Mobile had a dedicated booth where attendees experienced the multiplayer survival simulation firsthand.

Now it’s official: the first closed beta for Rust Mobile begins later this year on November 1st. As evenings grow longer and temperatures drop, you can claim your spot by registering now.

Prepare for intense survival

Rust blends shooter action with survival and crafting in a multiplayer sandbox, defining a genre since 2013. The official mobile adaptation has been highly anticipated and looks set to deliver.

A key feature is the fierce competition between clans and smaller player groups. While launching the PC version daily can be cumbersome, mobile access lets you jump into defenses anytime—a major plus for long-time fans and newcomers.
