Hey ArkCoNauts!
We are thrilled to announce that you can now opt in to the new multiplayer first look, through a beta branch build on Steam!! This is to allow the players to help us track down the worst of the bugs, and be sure we have a good smooth build before we fully integrate it with the main build. Be aware, this build will be more buggy and will have things still feeling somewhat “under construction.” as we finish rounding it out. That being said, we’re excited to hear all of the feedback from the community as you get your first taste of the multiplayer experience!
