Commander, we are thrilled to announce that the first Starforged Legacy beta is now live until the end of Sunday, August 24th! Below you'll find everything you need to know about joining the fight, inviting your friends, and providing your crucial feedback.
Getting Started
Playtest Access
If you've previously requested access to the Starforged Legacy beta test, you've already been granted access to the game and should find it within your Steam library! Simply install and launch the game as you would any other, and venture out into the perilous, unforgiving expanse of the wartorn galaxy we've set out before you (it's more fun than we make it out to sound, promise).
If you haven't requested access yet, don't worry! We've temporarily transitioned to an open playtest, allowing you to opt in via our Steam page and receive immediate access until the end of Sunday, August 24th.

Friend Invites
Every playtester has been granted three additional invites to share with friends! Yes, your friends can just opt into the beta themselves, but it would feel more personal coming from you.
To send these invites, navigate to Starforge Legacy in your library and find the panel that says: "You can grant your friends access to this Steam Playtest". Share these invites with your closest allies, or anyone you'd like to see vaporized by an alien cruiser.
Giving Feedback
Playtest Survey
Once you've logged some flight time, we urge you to fill out our Playtest Survey! To access the survey, use the (Google Forms) link below, or use the 'Playtest Survey' button from the in-game main menu.
Starforged Legacy Playtest Survey
We will regularly review submissions even after the playtest period has ended. Take your time!
Additional Feedback
For additional feedback, join our community Discord! Here you can speak directly with the development team, share your war stories with fellow pilots, and report any issues you may've encountered. Don't tell us about any deep-space anomalies, though. We no longer address those issues, not after the incident.
Join the Starforged Legacy Discord
Your feedback is the most critical resource for us during this beta. We're committed to developing a community-driven experience, and that starts with your honest first impressions! The fate of Starforged Legacy (and perhaps the world) rests in your hands. No pressure.
Communication Systems Online
Receive incoming transmissions: news, announcements, devlogs, and deep-space disturbances, by following Second Shift Games on X (formerly Twitter), Bluesky, YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok, or by visiting our website: SecondShiftGames.com.
Join our community Discord to chat with the developers and fellow pilots, and give your feedback on the game!
Wishing you clear skies, Commander.
