Hello, pilots! We've been working on something big (like, really BIG) for War Robots Steam recently and finally ready to announce it.
We've already experimented with Beta-versions on Steam, bringing exclusive features like configurable controls or gamepad support. But we haven't fully used the potential of the PC-version yet. Time to improve it!
We present you the "Remastered Graphics" beta branch!
Remastered graphics? What's inside, exactly?
We have:
- redesigned 13 robots (including Rogatka and Destrier) and 17 weapons
- remade Canyon map from scratch
- changed the lighting on all the other maps
- improved animations, battle effects and shaders
- added graphics settings (Auto, Low, Middle, High)
- improved sounds
Important! Beta-version requires DirectX 11 or higher.
Minimal system requirements:
- OS: Windows 7
- Processor: Intel Quad Core / AMD Phenom X4 or better
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: Geforce GTX 460 or higher
- DirectX: Version 11.0
- Storage: 2.5 GB available space
How do I enable beta?
- Open Steam Library in All Games mode
- Right click on War Robots
- Select Properties from the menu, Properties popup should appear
- Switch to Betas tab
- Select beta from the list
After that Steam should update the game automatically. When it’s done, you're ready to play.
Can I switch to standard version?
Totally! If you want to switch back to the regular game - open Properties - Betas tab once again and select “NONE”.
Will my progress be saved?
Yes. In Beta, you use the same account so any progress will be saved.
The same goes for any purchases you make. However, keep in mind that in Beta we don’t guarantee the same level of quality as for the stable branch. You may proceed on your own risk.
How do I leave feedback? Tell about a problem?

Known issues:
- Visual artefacts on Canyon, Yamantau and Carrier maps when minimizing and restoring the game. If this has happened, try reloading the game
- Golem animation bug - sometimes it hangs in the air
- When robots receive critical damage, problems with effects and walk can occur
- Robots can be stuck in the air when landing
- Weapons can be fancily positioned on the robots
- Resolution settings are "Low" by default. Owners of powerful video cards can set desired settings manually
You can also write in this thread.
Will graphics from Beta appear in the main branch?
That's the plan. As soon as Beta is stable enough, we will implement the same features in the main version.
Enjoy the game and join us in Beta Discussion group if you have any questions!
