What happened

Requests had opened on May 8, 2026 alongside the announcement of the test; this notice covers the invitations going out.

Players applied through the Request Access control on the official Steam store page.

Selected accounts were notified through Steam and the email connected to their Steam account.

Submitting a request did not guarantee an invitation.

Concept illustration. Invitations went out in waves, so most applicants were still waiting when the test opened.

What it means now

The same Steam request mechanism remains the authoritative place to register interest in later playtests, but no future test date is currently confirmed.
