Although Rust Mobile is developed by Level Infinite, it is under official license from Facepunch Studios, developers of the original PC game. As such, the mobile variant retains all of the core mechanics, which have also been shown in the reveal trailer of the mobile version.

Since it will be very similar to the original title, Rust Mobile is an FPS survival shooter title with ample PvP content. The game is a true sandbox, where you will need to scavenge, craft, build, raid, also tackle environmental hazards. Owing to this sandbox nature, you can play the game at your own pace without dedicating to one fixed playstyle at all times.

While a majority of Rust Mobile will be the same as its PC version, the UI is drastically different to accommodate touch-screen UI elements. That said, these do not aim to clutter your screen, and are more friendly to mobile gamers new and old alike.
