Free beta access with Playtest

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We gave away over 2000 free Steam keys to our most engaged community members during the last two years of development. Unfortunately, we reached the maximum number of beta keys for a game in a pre-released stage, and we cannot request more until a full release. Fortunately, we can continue inviting new beta testers with the Steam Playtest system.

Playtest is a new feature that allows you to quickly request beta access to our game by clicking on a button on the Steam store page.

  1. Go to the eXpanSIM store page
  2. Click "Add to your wishlist"
  3. Click "Request Access"


You will be notified when your request is approved.
