- The official Rust Mobile trailer has just been released.
- All the core survival mechanics from the PC original are preserved in the mobile version.

As we announced last year, Rust is on its way to iOS and Android. Level Infinite has now made it official with the launch of a brand-new trailer for this mobile adaptation of Facepunch Studios' iconic PC survival simulator. They have also confirmed their presence at Gamescom 2025 in August, where attendees can get a hands-on look at a playable demo.
If you're familiar with the sting of betrayal from a seemingly friendly neighbor or the shock of a looted base, get ready to relive those intense moments on your phone. Rust Mobile faithfully brings over everything that made the original so compelling: vast open-world exploration, permadeath, deep crafting, thrilling raids, and the constant, tense uncertainty of player encounters where allegiances can shift in an instant.
The key enhancement lies in its thoughtful adaptation for mobile. Rust Mobile incorporates smart quality-of-life adjustments to accommodate different playstyles and session lengths. The stakes remain brutally high, whether you're scavenging alone or diving headfirst into PvP raids. Dynamic weather, day-night cycles, and diverse biomes all amplify the tension in this unforgiving survival sandbox.
Played from a first-person perspective, the mobile version delivers a fully dynamic world where danger lurks everywhere—from hostile wildlife to other survivors. Every choice carries weight, especially in an environment where trust is a rare commodity and bullets are often cheaper than alliances. Core systems like crafting and base-building remain deep and engaging, now optimized for touch controls without sacrificing any of the game's signature tension.
