The off-road simulator that made its name on PC and console, now on Android. You haul heavy trucks through deep mud, across rivers, and down rough forest tracks using the same physics the desktop games run on.

What is MudRunner
MudRunner Mobile is the Android port of the off-road simulator from Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment, the same studio behind Spintires and SnowRunner. You drive Soviet-era trucks across remote ground, hauling logs and cargo through mud bogs, river crossings, and forest roads that have mostly fallen apart. Every map asks you to pick the right gear, watch your differential lock, and know when to drop the winch and pull yourself out.
The Android build keeps the driving model intact. Physics, terrain deformation, mud depth, suspension travel, and weight all behave the way they do on PC. Throttle, brake, gear shifter, winch, differential, and all-wheel drive each map to on-screen buttons, and you can move those buttons wherever they sit best for your thumbs. Steer by tilting the device or with a virtual wheel, whichever you prefer.
The official version runs about $5.99 on the Play Store. We post the modded APK here for two kinds of readers: people who want to try the game on a phone before they pay, and people in markets where that price lands well above what the local currency can comfortably cover.

What this mod offers
This modified build of MudRunner 1.5.28.0 drops the paid storefront unlock, so the full game runs without the $5.99 purchase. Content, saves, and multiplayer all work the way they do in the official release.
- Full game unlocked.
Every map, every truck, and the whole campaign roster opens from the main menu, no Play Store purchase needed.
- No in-app prompts.
The buy-the-game prompt that keeps interrupting the demo build on the official Play Store version is gone.
- Cooperative multiplayer intact.
Four-player co-op runs against other modded and official clients. Cross-play with friends on PC is not supported here.
- Save progress persists.
Campaign progress, vehicle unlocks, and map exploration write to local storage and stick around after you restart the app.
- Performance unchanged.
No watermark, no ad layer, no frame-rate cap. The build hits the same FPS budget as the official APK on the same hardware.
- Controller support preserved.
Bluetooth gamepads and external controllers work just as they do in the official release.
How to install
Installing follows the normal Android sideload steps. The file is big at roughly 602 MB, so get on Wi-Fi and give it extra time if your storage is slow.
- Download the APK file
Tap the download button on this page. The file drops into your default Downloads folder. On a slow connection give it a few minutes, since the build runs around 602 MB.

Open Settings, search for
Install unknown apps, find your file manager or browser in the list, and turn the permission on. - Open the downloaded APK
Tap the file in your Downloads folder. The Android package installer opens and lists the permissions it wants before anything installs.
- Tap Install
Confirm the install. The progress bar may stall near the end while the game unpacks its assets, so let it finish and don't force-close it.
- Free up storage if needed
Keep about 2 GB free after install. The game writes save data, terrain cache, and replay files onto your device.
- First launch and graphics setup
On the title screen, open Settings → Graphics and pick a preset that fits your chipset. High works for Snapdragon 870 and up; Medium covers most mid-range phones.
