You can opt in to the Test Branch via the Betas tab, found by right-clicking New Cities in your Steam Library and selecting Properties. Simply click the dropdown under the Betas tab and choose "test - Testing branch." You can return to the current main build via the same dropdown by choosing "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" instead. Going from one to the other will trigger an update as Steam fetches you the desired branch.
Discuss the update with other mayors on our Discord!
Happy building!
