When is the next playtest?

How do I sign up and participate in tests?

If you haven't yet, sign up here: metagravity.com/playtests
You’ll need free Steam and Discord accounts to participate in tests.
Once you’ve signed up, you'll receive emails with news of upcoming tests, and Steam keys will automatically be sent for any test for which you are eligible. Please add playtests@metagravity.com to your whitelist, and check your Spam folder if you don’t receive anything.

Can I stream or share screenshots from the playtest?

How do I get rewards?

What are the system and OS requirements?

The game is currently only available for PC desktop devices via the Steam platform. We will provide updated info if that changes in the future. General minimum system requirements for playtests are below. These are assessed and updated regularly.

OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)

CPU: AMD / Intel® Core™ i7-9400K or better

RAM: 8GB of system memory (16GB ideal)

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or better

Storage: At least 50GB of available space; SSD preferred

Controls: Mouse / Keyboard or Steam-compatible controller (Steam Deck currently not supported in testing phase)

If you experience frame rate issues during a test, open the Graphics settings and lower render distance. This setting determines the draw distance of characters, and reducing it may increase performance, especially during crowded battles.

How do I get access to the test client on Steam?

Access to the test client is via a unique Steam key that will be emailed directly to you. Since this key is assigned to you, please do not share it with anyone, and redeem it as soon as possible.

Your Steam key will unlock the test version of the game in your library. If you’ve redeemed your key but can’t see the game in your Steam Library, please make sure you have "Games" and "All" selected on the left-hand navigation bar. It should show up as "Edge of Chaos: HyperScale Test". If you have any issues, please ensure you’ve redeemed the correct key, and open a ticket on Discord if the problem persists.

The final version of the test client is usually available to download approximately 2 hours before the playtest starts. Keep an eye out for Discord announcements and e-mails to make sure you have the latest version installed. If you don’t receive a Steam Key at least 24 hours before a test or encounter any other issues, please create a Discord ticket and provide us with your e-mail address and the Steam ID you used to sign up.

There’s no need to uninstall the game after the test, but if you want space on your PC you can do so. The test client will remain in your library and can be downloaded for future playtests without redeeming a new key. If your country or IP is blocked by Steam, you unfortunately won’t be able to participate in playtests.
