Forefront Open Beta | Available NOW!

Forefront · published 9 Oct 2025, 09:24 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Where Forefront’s Open Alpha was about thoroughly testing the core game systems, our Open Beta expands on those core features to prepare the game for our Early Access Launch later this Fall.

Play, give feedback, report bugs, become a clip god, and etch your name into the game forever. Welcome to Forefront’s Open Beta!

Open Beta Ends October 20th!

What’s new?

  • New Mode on a New Map | In the “Rush” game mode, you’ll either defend your objectives, or push the enemy back on a new map called “Siberia”.

  • Repair Tool for Engineer | Repair damaged vehicles on the map with the Engineer’s trusty Repair Tool!

  • Spawn Beacon for Recon | When playing as Recon, set up a Spawn Beacon to let your squad mates spawn at that location.

  • New Weapons & Weapon Customization | There’s now an expanded arsenal of over 20 weapons to unlock and customize with attachment presets (to be replaced with full weapon customization later)!

  • Class Progression | Progress in your Class to unlock new weapons (and gadgetry in the future)!

  • Weapon Progression | Score kills with your weapons to unlock new attachment presets for them.

  • And much more! | Check our Discord to see the entire list of changes / new additions!

How to Access the Forefront Beta?

On Steam, you can go to the demo below, and click "Install Demo". You can also add it to your Library to download later. Once installed, boot the game, PLAY, and give us your valuable feedback!

For instructions about how to get access on Meta Quest Standalone, check our Discord!

Wishlist, Wishlist, Wishlist!

Wishlisting the game helps us out greatly, and ensures you get notified the second the game launches in Early Access later this Fall.

Etch Your Name & Clip God Challenges!

Rise to the top in certain categories during the Beta and your username will literally be etched inside the game forever in one of our maps. Whatever you’ll be known for is up to you!

Or do you want to have the chance to be featured in our Early Access Launch Trailer later this year? Consider becoming a true Clip God and send in your best Forefront clips!

More info on both of these challenges in our Discord!

Now go, soldier! Join the chaotic battles of Forefront—play, give feedback, etch your name, become a Clip God, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

SEE YOU ON THE FRONT LINE!
