Rust Mobile's Closed Alpha Test: A Sneak Peek This February

Get ready, Rust fans! A closed alpha test for Rust Mobile is launching sometime in February. This confidential test will offer a limited number of players their first hands-on experience with the mobile port.

The alpha will be strictly private, with Facepunch Studios confirming no public screenshots or videos will be released. Participants will be required to sign an NDA. Save data will not transfer, and in-app purchases will be unavailable during the test. Sign-ups are exclusively through the official Rust Discord server.

Mobile Monetization: A Key Question

Many players, myself included, are curious about the planned monetization strategy for Rust Mobile. Successful mobile ports like Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition have demonstrated that a balance between free content and optional in-app purchases for additional maps or features is achievable.

This mobile release is highly anticipated, bringing a major PC survival title to mobile devices. It's sure to attract a large player base eager to experience the progression from basic tools to advanced weaponry within the familiar Rust gameplay.
