Rust Mobile’s closed alpha test is launching this February! This confidential test, accessible via the official Rust Discord, will offer a sneak peek at the highly anticipated mobile port. Note that save data will not carry over, and in-app purchases will be unavailable during the alpha. Furthermore, Facepunch has confirmed the test will be private, requiring participants to sign an NDA. Expect limited public information—photos and videos from this phase will be scarce.
The upcoming release is generating significant excitement, especially concerning in-app purchases and monetization strategies. Successful examples like Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition demonstrate how free content can be balanced with optional in-app purchases for additional maps and benefits. Rust Mobile’s approach remains to be seen.
This mobile port represents a major milestone for the popular PC survival game, promising to attract a large mobile audience eager to experience the progression from basic tools to advanced weaponry within the intense survival landscape.
