HOW TO JOIN THE BETA TEST?
Go to https://account.asmodee.net/en/betatests and scroll down until you see the current beta for Terraforming Mars. Then, click on “Join” to receive your key for the beta and follow the next steps:
How to activate the Beta of the Prelude DLC once I received my Steam Key (format AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC)?
(You should already own the game)
- Open Steam, then open the Games menu and select “Activate a Product on Steam…”
- Follow the instructions until you are asked a Product Code.
- Enter the Steam Key in this field and complete the activation of the product.
- Right-click on Terraforming Mars in your games library and click Properties.
- You can check that the Prelude DLC is activated by selecting the DLC tab, where you should see the TerraformingMars – Prelude listed. Tick the Install checkbox if it’s not already the case.
- Select the Betas tab.
- Enter the code MissiontoMars and click Check Code.
- In the drop-down list, select beta as the beta you would like to opt into.
That’s it! Steam should now download and update TFM so the Prelude DLC should be available when you create a new game.
Remember! Joining the beta means that you will certainly encounter bugs during your games. It’s perfectly normal and in this case, please make sure to report these on our new Discord server, in the dedicated channel, so we can investigate your issue and resolve it. Thank you to all our beta testers! As usual, the objective is to stabilize and make sure that the version is ready to be pushed and for that, your feedback will be decisive.
If you wish to leave the beta and continue playing Terraforming Mars:
1- Go into Terraforming Mars’ properties
2- Select the “Beta” tab
3- Select the “NONE – Opt out of all beta programs” option
4- Delete the content of this folder:

Make sure that you check all files have been deleted, some of them are set as “hidden” and will need to be revealed to be deleted.
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm over the Prelude announcement, we hope to see many of you joining the beta! We are very grateful for your help and continued support.
