Hey all - Lee (@bopnswap) here with a big playtest update for you. We’re running our first major Stress Test, running for 8 hours on Saturday, August 3, so please come and help us break these servers! The Stress Test will take place August 3 from 12 PM PT - 8 PM PT.
A big thank you to everyone for signing up for the Stress Test, and to every player who has been a part of our journey so far.
We've been crafting an experience that intends to flip traditional gameplay on its head—and believe our innovative Duality mechanic genuinely plays in uncharted territory, especially for shooters.
Stress Tests like these are critical to helping us get to where we want to be. The future is bright, and it's been an amazing journey for our small team to get to this point. We're excited for you all to be among the first to experience our unique new take on tactical shooters.
See you in Breakwater!
How to Participate
The Spectre Divide Stress Test will be available on Steam for Windows PC players. Prior playtesters will be automatically able to join the Stress Test.
To participate:
- Add “Spectre Divide” to your Steam wishlist
- Click the “Request Access” button on Spectre Divide’s Steam Page
- On August 2, if you’ve been granted access, look for the "Spectre Divide Playtest" app in your Steam library
- Download and install the “Spectre Divide Playtest” app
- Jump into matches starting August 3, between 12 PM PT and 8 PM PT
How are Playtesters Selected?
We’ll be selecting, at random, a large number of playtesters who’ve completed Steam Wishlisting and Requesting Access to Playtest on our Steam page.
Contacting Player Support or asking on our social channels will not get you into the Stress Test.
If you don't get access to this Stress Test, don't give up hope! Our Closed Beta is coming soon in mid-August and we'll be approving another large group of players for that Beta.
What's Included in the Test?
During the Stress Test, you’ll have access to the full Spectre Divide experience. That said, any unlocked content will be limited to this playtest, and will not carry over to the final game.
What is a Stress Test?
A Stress Test simulates the game under extreme conditions by having a large number of players play at once. Ironically, a successful stress test often ends in the servers breaking - which allows our team to identify possible issues before launch.
Heads up: Just remember—what happens in the Stress Test, stays in the Stress Test.
- No Streaming
- No Recording
- No Screenshots
You may experience poor performance or run into unforeseen problems. All your feedback on these issues is incredibly valuable to our team, but please avoid sharing this experience publicly as the Stress Test will not be representative of the final game.
