Dive into Rust Mobile and experience its hardcore survival gameplay
The mobile adaptation of the widely acclaimed PC game, known as “Rust Mobile,” is being developed under the working title “Outpost“. This project is officially endorsed by Facepunch Studios. Details about its development were shared last year in January, with the original studio acknowledging the project in November 2024.

For those who haven’t heard, Rust Mobile is an intense survival game set on a perilous, uninhabited island. Your objective is to make it through by gathering resources, constructing a shelter, creating tools, and investigating the enigmatic island, all while confronting wildlife, other survivors, hazardous conditions, and various challenges.
