Take on the Deadzone solo or squad up with two friends in co-op. The server browser is live, along with a new drop-in feature so you can jump into a co-op run in progress.
We're focused on technical testing and getting your early feedback! Balance, progression, and content are still in progress, and you may run into some bugs. Weapon skins, stat console, sigmail, lore logs, achievements, and a couple perks and weapons are not in this early playtest, but are planned for later.
You can share your thoughts on the playtest here, in this short survey. We also keep a close eye on Discord and Reddit.
The playtest is live now through 2PM ET on Sunday, August 23. We'll be letting in waves of players for the first couple of hours, before opening up to everyone. Good luck and have fun!

We keep a close eye on Discord and Reddit, and you can also share feedback through this short survey.
Will my progression carry over from the playtest to the demo or full game?
No, progression will not carry over. This helps for testing and if we need to make system adjustments.
When is the demo, and what's the difference from a playtest?
The demo will be available in the next 1-3 months, and should be a bit more polished than the playtest in terms of balance, bugs, etc. This early playtest is sort of like a sneak peek of the demo.
Can I play with friends during the playtest?
Yes! Co-op is available on PC for the playtest, with squads of up to 3 players. The server browser is also available, and we're testing drop-in co-op so players can join runs already in progress.
Is streaming or recording allowed?
Yes, go for it!
Will Planty be in the playtest?
Of course :)
