Have you been eager to get your hands on the mobile version of Rust, the popular multiplayer survival shooter? You may find yourself playing it sooner than expected—or perhaps a bit later—depending on your location. That's right: the first closed beta for Rust Mobile launches on November 1st!
Of course, lucky attendees at Gamescom in Cologne earlier this month might have already gotten a chance to try it out. The game was showcased at a booth during this major gaming convention, giving fans some hands-on time with the acclaimed multiplayer survival experience.
Now we can confirm that Rust Mobile's first official closed beta will go live later this year—specifically on November 1st as mentioned above. So even as nights grow longer and temperatures drop, you'll have a chance to stake your claim in the world of Rust by signing up for the closed beta now.
Time To Get A Tetanus Shot
Combining fast-paced shooting action with survival and crafting mechanics—and always delivering on its multiplayer promise—Rust helped define a genre when it launched back in 2013. Many players have long awaited a mobile version, and this officially licensed adaptation looks incredibly promising.
One standout feature of Rust is the intense competition between clans and smaller player groups. While hopping onto your PC every day can be inconvenient, being able to jump into defense mode on your phone could make this title especially appealing for both new and veteran fans alike.
