All news Players around this date Read on Steam

We were officially scheduled to wrap up the Palettopia open beta yesterday, but we've been having so much fun seeing your utopias come to life that we decided to keep the playtest available for a little bit longer.

If you have already signed up and the Playtest is currently sitting in your Steam library, you can keep playing all through the weekend! You now have until Sunday, July 26th at midnight Eastern Time to perfect your city layouts.

*Please note: We have closed the sign-up button on the main store page, so no new players can join at this time. This is an exclusive bonus weekend just for those of you who are already here!*

Enjoy the extra time, and please continue dropping your final screenshots, bug reports, and feedback in our Discord.

Have a great weekend!
