Edit:
THE CLOSED PVP BETA TEST IS NOW OVER.
We'll soon be back with our plans for 2021.
Hey everyone,
Soooo... We just stealthily launched the Closed PvP Beta. So far so good!
We've been playing with the community almost non-stop recording issues, asking for feedback and generally pwning everyone having a good time.
Our Discord community seems to be enjoying it a lot, so we have decided to leave the servers running throughout the entire Holiday season!
We've invited over 700 players so far but fear not, if you register through the form with your correct Discord username (AND you join our server) you are in, 100% guaranteed. :)
Here's the registration form: https://forms.gle/xK9CNU4eSrvfH3dG7

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
The PvP build was intended as a test build - it has occasional hiccups, a few bugs here and there, but it is stable enough to let everyone who wants in.
Once you receive the tester role (might take a few days) on Discord, you'll be able to access the Closed PvP Beta section containing guides, FAQs and access information.
There are occasional pings going on making sure no one misses the Closed Beta. :)
Dedicated servers are performing great (EU & NA regions), and so is the voice chat.
Here's a glimpse of how the latter works:
You can download the full Closed PvP guide once you get your tester role on our Discord server.
GAME MODES
There are 4 PvP maps in the Closed Beta with 4 game modes, one for each map.
SUMMARY
From an originally 3-day Closed PvP Beta became a 2+ week long (potentially longer) Closed PvP Beta.
We're relieved servers can keep up, and even though the team is taking a week off we're still closely monitoring them, making sure you can enjoy some fast paced PvP against friends or random people. :)
Thank you all for being here with us!
The whole XREAL Games team wishes y'all Happy Holidays, and a fruitful 2021.
P.S.
We know PvP is not for everyone, and we hear you. :)
Even though we couldn't squeeze any single player content in this December, we're tirelessly working on story missions, hands, character body, cross-play with that other store we aren't supposed to name and other exciting things.
We expect a lot from dedicated servers as well - we strongly believe most Co-op related issues will cease to exist once we implement them in the live version.
To make things more clear for everyone, we'll put together a roadmap in January with everything we're planning for 2021.
