Rust Mobile: Two Betas, Four Million Sign-Ups, No Release Date

What Level Infinite and Facepunch Have Actually Announced

The facts are a beta calendar. Facepunch licensed Rust to Level Infinite, and the first closed beta ran December 11 to 31, 2025 on iOS and Android with pre-loading from December 9, per Bleeding Cool. Gavin Sheehan's July 30, 2026 report set the second: pre-load on August 22, doors open August 23 at 6 pm Pacific, across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, with Android players through Google Play or an official APK and iOS players limited to TestFlight places; Final Weapon dates its end to September 30. That beta added new items, new-player features and thirteen languages, from English and Russian to Arabic and Japanese, and Level Infinite counted over four million pre-registrations. A Rust Mobile tent stood at gamescom Camp in Cologne from August 24 to 30, 2026. GamingOnPhone reported a China launch targeted for July 2026 across PC and mobile. Nothing names a global release date.

Loot, Craft, Raid, Die, Repeat — the PC Loop, Reportedly Intact

The Google Play description promises the whole game rather than a spin-off: open-world exploration, PvP, base building and raiding, and emergent social play on a fully explorable sandbox with dynamic weather, regional biomes and a real-time day-night cycle — the loop of loot, craft, raid, die and start over, the listing's own phrase. The only body of player opinion is TapTap, where the beta build — version 1.46.1.303, 1.65 GB, Android 6 or newer, updated August 21, 2026 — holds 9.6 out of 10 from 1,400 ratings; the praise is a faithful port, the objection, in late-August and early-September reviews, is optimisation: low frame rates, stuttering and animation desync. Google Play shows 500,000-plus downloads at a Mature 17+ rating. This page carries no score until a release build exists.

No Shop Yet, No Data Card, No Date

Because it is a beta, the store page is nearly empty of the things this site normally reads: Google Play shows neither an advertising badge nor an in-app purchase badge, its data-safety card lists nothing collected or shared, and the version and Android floor are listed as varying by device. The legal publisher is Proxima Beta Pte. Limited, Tencent's Singapore entity, with support at Level Infinite. There is no App Store listing to compare — iOS access was TestFlight only — and no announced business model. What players in the beta regions installed can change with any update, and Facepunch's own PC game wipes servers on a schedule, so progress in a test should be treated as temporary. The buttons, the review and the score arrive when Rust Mobile is on the stores as a released game.
