What are Beta Games?

Beta games are games that are in a testing state called beta. Games in a beta state are playable but unfinished games released to the public for testing. During this testing period we aim to learn whether our customers are interested in the Game and what improvements could be made before it can be released more broadly. 

Your feedback is greatly appreciated on our beta games and helps us make critical decisions on the future of our games. 

Where Can I Play Beta Games?

Find our beta games in the navigation menu on the top left of our Games Page!

Beta games are not available in our mobile apps. 

How Do I Know if a Game is in Beta Testing?

Games in beta testing are available on our Games Page and include BETA under the name of the game.
