PLAYTEST SCHEDULE
Our first Community Preview playtest will run from April 10-14.
- START: Thusday, April 10 at 9:00am PDT (April 10 at 6:00pm CEST)
- END: Monday, April 14 at 5:00pm PDT (April 15 at 2:00am CEST)

(Playtest updates and/or service disruptions will be shared on Discord.)
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
In order to be eligible to join our playtest, you must first sign up!
Signing up is easy: Simply visit our Wildgate sign-up page, enter and verify your email address, then answer a few short questions. Once you've completed the sign up process, you're all set!
Please note that this initial Community Preview playtest will be both invite-only and limited in its overall size. As a result, signing up will not guarantee access.
PLAYTEST KEYS
Selected participants will receive an invite via email on April 10, shortly before the playtest begins, along with instructions on how to claim a key through our playtest dashboard.
Participants may claim one (1) playtest key on their preferred platform. Once a playtest key has been claimed, they will also receive one (1) invite code to share with a friend or family member.
Please note that receiving an invite email or invite code is only the first step! In order to be assigned a key, you will need to complete our registration process and select a platform. Since we have a limited number of keys for each platform, they will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. If keys are longer available on a specific platform, it will be grayed out.
JOIN OUR DISCORD
We have an official Wildgate Discord server!
In this server, you can learn about our game, get the latest development updates, chat directly with our devs, ask questions, meet new players, search for crews and crew captains, and more. This is also where playtest participants can report bugs and share feedback.
