Howdy partners!

We’ve got some mighty exciting news from the fields today! Sign-ups for the early playtest of Farmbotic are officially open. It’s a huge milestone for our team, and we can’t wait for you to finally get your boots dirty and try the game for yourselves.

What to expect during the early playtest?

We are eager to show you what we've been working on, but please keep in mind that you will be playing an early build of the game.

  • Single-player only: for this specific test, we are focusing exclusively on the single-player experience.

  • Work in progress: while we are super excited to share our progress with you, the game is still actively in development. You might encounter some bugs or rough edges, and that's exactly why we need your help!

For those of you waiting to farm with friends, don't worry! We are planning a separate playtest dedicated specifically to the co-op mode later down the road.


How to join?

Simply head over to our main Steam store page and click the green "Request Access" button in the Playtest section, just below the screenshots. And hey, while you're over there, we'd be mighty grateful if you added Farmbotic to your Wishlist!

When the time comes, selected players will receive an email notification directly from Steam.


When are we playing?

We are planning to start the playtest in early June. We will share the exact dates and times in a follow-up announcement once everything is locked in and ready to go.


Your feedback matters!

We are running this early playtest because we want to hear your honest thoughts. Once the test kicks off, we will provide a feedback survey.

We would love for every participant to share their impressions, report any issues, and suggest improvements. We want to shape this game together with our community!


Come Say Howdy on Social Media!

If you want to chat with us or see more day-to-day updates, be sure to join our Discord and follow us on X and Facebook.

Cheers!

~ Farmbotic Team
