Have you been eagerly waiting to get your hands on the mobile adaptation of the hit multiplayer survival shooter Rust? You might get the chance a bit sooner than expected—or a bit later, depending on your region. The first closed beta for Rust Mobile is confirmed to begin on November 1st!
Of course, some lucky attendees at Gamescom in Cologne this month may have already had an early look. Rust Mobile was featured at a booth during the major gaming event, giving some visitors the opportunity to go hands-on with the popular multiplayer survival simulator.
Now it's official: the first closed beta for Rust Mobile will launch later this year. As mentioned, that's November 1st. So even as the days get shorter and colder, you can secure your spot in the world of Rust by registering for the closed beta today.

Time to Gear Up
Combining shooter action, survival mechanics, and crafting—along with ever-popular multiplayer gameplay—Rust helped define and popularize its genre after its initial release in 2013. A mobile version has been highly anticipated, and this officially licensed adaptation shows strong potential.
One of Rust's standout features is the intense competition between clans and smaller player groups. While booting up your PC every day isn't always convenient, having the ability to jump into the action on mobile for quick defense could make this a hit among both new and returning fans.
