How to get access to theMecha BREAKBeta Playtest
There are currently two ways you’re able to join theMecha BREAKplaytest, but both require a little effort on your part.
Request Access on your Steam Account
The first is toopt into the playtest on Steam.To do so, open your Steam (either through your browser or the client itself. From the homepage, search forMecha BREAKand go to the game’s store page.
Once there, scroll down and look for agreen buttonthat allows you toRequest Access. Click this, and you’re all done! Using this method, you’ll receive a beta key for your Steam account via your e-mail, if selected. The bad news is that there’s no way of knowing when or if you’ll even be selected. This method works, but there’s an even better one that you can use to guarantee access immediately.
Watch a Twitch Streamer with Drops enabled
This guaranteed method is by using your Twitch account to get a key. You can tune into any streamer playingMecha BREAKwithDrops enabledto earn a key after some time. All you need to do is watch for 15 minutes, and you’ll receive a notification via Twitch that you’ve earned access to the playtest. Be quick because drops are only going to be active untilAugust 8.After this date, this method will no longer work.
Once you’ve gotten this notification, though, you’ll need tolink your Twitch and Steam accounts togetherto receive the key. This is a very easy process that simply requires you to log in to your Twitch and Steam accounts. When you do, and both accounts have successfully been linked, you’ll receive your beta key. To use it, head to Steam and click‘Activate a Product’under the ‘Games’ section. From there, simply input the key, and you’re in!
How long is theMecha BREAKplaytest?
WhileMecha BREAK certainly feels like a complete game, this playtest is still very much limited. The first phase of the test is ongoing and will continue untilAugust 8. After that, the second phase of the test will begin.
The second phase of the playtest is slated to be happening fromAugust 9 to August 13. According to the playtest’sFAQ, if you didn’t get into the first phase, you will get into the second one on the dates I mentioned above. It is currently unknown if players in the first test will be able to participate, but it is likely.
