Hey fight fans,
A few weeks ago, we held our first ever large-scale multiplayer beta test and were thrilled to have lots of you playing the game for the first time. We learned a lot; about our online multiplayer infrastructure, but also about what you liked and what you thought we could improve about the gameplay. We made a post-beta roundtable addressing some of it that you can watch here, and we’ve already implemented some gameplay changes based on that which we’ll share details on soon.
In that roundtable we confirmed the need for a second multiplayer beta test. And today we are announcing that it will run on December the 9th, 10th, and 11th within a limited window of three hours per day:
8pm GMT (UK) to 11pm GMT (UK) // 3pm ET (East Coast USA) to 6pm ET (East Coast USA ) // 5am (Eastern Australia) to 8am AEDT (Eastern Australia)
Why are we doing this?
Following the matchmaking issues that some players experienced during the first beta, we’ve made a number of improvements. It’s important to us that the game is in a good place on day one of early access and hosting a second beta helps us test the multiplayer changes we’ve made at scale.
What you need to know
The primary purpose of the beta is to test our multiplayer infrastructure at scale. Undisputed is not a finished game. There may be bugs, crashes, lag, or any number of things that might impact the experience and not be representative of the final game.
The second beta will have a total of two venues and eight available fighters: Katie Taylor, Chantelle Cameron, Jessica McCaskill, Oleksandr Usyk, Deontay Wilder, Rocky Marciano, Nigel Benn, and Roy Jones Jr.
Anyone with a Steam account and a computer that meets the minimum hardware requirements* can sign up for free. Anyone that can sign up and play will be able to record and share footage, livestream the beta, and discuss anything they experience.
How to sign up
If you signed up for the first beta you’ll already have access to the second through your Steam library. For people that didn’t sign up last time, we’re registering new sign-ups through Steam itself and providing the beta goes well we will slowly expand to include those new sign-ups. Head over to our Steam page and hit the ‘Request Access’ button. Steam will send you an email if you get given access to the beta, at which point you’ll be able to download the beta build of the game and play, providing it’s within the time blocks we outlined above.
Questions and More Info
We look forward to seeing everyone get hands-on with the game again and we’re especially looking forward to people’s feedback on a wider range of fighters and of the changes we’ve made since the first beta. We’ve set up a dedicated forum space on Steam so we can speak to you directly and better track your feedback to help make Undisputed the best it can be.
If you have any questions or are looking for some additional information, head over to the thread we’ve set up on Steam here. We’ll aim to reply to any questions as soon as we can.
