Ready to take part in the latest playtest for the Project Sparrow rework!? We'll be running a playtest on Saturday, July 6th 8:00PM - 10:00PM BST. See below for more information on how to access the rework.
What is this playtest focussing on?
For this test, our primary goal is to make sure the matchmaking is working correctly. Putting players in the correct games depending on their region. Games may end abruptly, but please re-queue when you can!
How do I access the rework?
Matchmaking queues will only be open from Saturday, July 6th 8:00PM - 10:00PM BST.
Right click Project Sparrow in your steam library > go to properties > betas > then in the 'Beta Participation' dropdown, select 'rework - rework'.
Note: If you want to swap between playing the live version of the game and the rework, you'll have to come back here and change from 'rework - rework' to 'none'.
