This Closed Alpha is our first pass at bringing March of Giants to life. It will not be perfect. You may encounter bugs, rough balance, and unpredictable moments, all of which are vital to shaping development through player feedback. This test represents only a portion of the content planned for full release. Future phases will expand the experience with new gameplay features, broader regional access, and additional language support. The Closed Alpha includes:
15 playable Giants
5 Battleworks
One PvP Map and the Breach game mode
Custom Games, Bot Matches, and Tutorials
Schedule & Matchmaking Hours
The Closed Alpha runs from Tuesday, September 2 at 1 PM ET | 10 AM PT through Wednesday, September 10. To keep matches competitive and queues healthy while still keeping the tester group intentionally tight-knit, we’ve scheduled dedicated matchmaking hours during peak activity windows:
Matchmaking Hours:
Week One (Sep 2–8)
Weekdays: 8 PM – Midnight ET | 5 PM - 9 PM PT
Weekends: 10 AM – 3 AM ET | 7 AM – Midnight PT
Week Two (Sep 9–14)
Weekdays: 6 PM – 3 AM ET | 3 PM – Midnight PT
Weekends: 10 AM – 3 AM ET | 7 AM – Midnight PT
By focusing matchmaking into these time blocks, we’re ensuring high-quality, fully populated PvP sessions. Outside matchmaking hours, players can:
Test new Giants
Practice against bots
Create custom games with friends
Feedback & Bug Reports
The team is closely monitoring feedback for March of Giants across many channels, but the most direct way to ensure your voice is heard is to join the March of Giants Discord server! Given the short duration of the Closed Alpha, we will focus on addressing the most significant issues around stability, performance, and balance. We really want to hear your feedback on these key categories:
Giants
Soldiers
Battleworks
The Breach Game Mode and Map
Onboarding and Tutorials
Itemization, Augments, and Power Progression
Players in the Closed Alpha can follow the main-menu prompt to sign in or create an Amazon Games iD (AGiD), then link their Steam and Discord accounts. Linking these accounts unlocks the pre-launch channels in the March of Giants Discord, where you can share feedback with the dev team, report any issues you encounter, team up with other players, follow game news, and get notified about future tests. Linking your AGiD comes with multiple rewards:
Giant Unlock: Use a token to instantly unlock a Giant of your choice
Community Access: Join the Closed Alpha channels in the March of Giants Discord
Friend key: Invite a friend to the Closed Alpha (limited supply; distributed via the March of Giants Discord)
Pre-launch Rewards: Be recognized for being pre-launch player with rewards delivered later in development
Unlocking Giants
Players will initially have access to 10 semi-randomized Giants, with the remaining 5 being unlocked through in-game challenges. To ensure everyone can play the Giants they’re most interested in during the Closed Alpha, these challenges have been tuned to be very quick to complete. We plan to adjust the exact mechanics for unlocking Giants in future tests. Progress - including unlocked Giants - won’t carry over to future tests.
Future Tests
Thank you for joining us in the Closed Alpha. When the next test arrives, players from this Closed Alpha will be invited to join us again. While the wait may be longer than some will expect, that time is necessary for us to act on your feedback, build new features, and make meaningful improvements. The best place to keep up with future development updates and be notified about upcoming tests is the March of Giants Discord server.
